Chris Greene, Hope Vaught, Nathan Johnson, Rebecca LarsenSummary: ‘OUR NECK OF THE WOODS’ explores the world of Bob Underwood, a disenchanted line foreman at Pilgrimtown’s Mold-O-Form factory. Day after day, he produces plastic lawn-ornament deer, secretly longing for more out of life. But his family obligations and inability to assert himself keep him in the same position year after year. One day Elsa, a Georgian refugee, is relocated to work at the factory. Enchanted by her quiet thoughtfulness and haunting singing, Bob decides to save her from succumbing to his own fate. He steals the union dues so that she can leave the factory and live the life he feels he’s missed out on. His neglect while carrying out the shortsighted and ill-conceived plan leads to Elsa’s emancipation but also his own through his accidental destruction of the entire factory.
