Join Talking Horse Productions on Saturday at 6 p.m. or Sunday at 3 p.m. for a live reading of “The Beekeeper” by Sean J.S. Jourdan.

“The Beekeeper” is a feature-length drama about three generations of families in rural Missouri. Taking place within the confines of a summer afternoon, this evocative drama explores the ramifications of an affair between a beekeeper and his son’s girlfriend, already a single mother, who has become pregnant. Spurned by the beekeeper, the girlfriend tells the son that he’s going to be the father, which causes him to rethink his decision to leave his small town and go to college. The beekeeper’s wife is hardly naive, and knows the truth. As the affair is both concealed and revealed, it ultimately rattles the foundations of the family, threatening to blow it apart.
