The Language of Trees is a play about the fragility of language, the ecology of war and the meaning of neighborliness in an age of terror. When an American translator is sent into a U.S. war zone in the Middle East, a friendly neighbor volunteers to help out his wife and young son back at home. As events abroad spiral out of control, the lives of all the characters are turned upside down.

This is the second production by Roundabout Underground, an initiative launched in 2007 to cultivate new artists in Roundabout's Black Box Theatre Space.

The Language of Trees will play a limited engagement through December 14.
