The Potting Shed

Novelist and playwright Graham Greene brought his distinctive Catholic perspective to his 1957 drama The Potting Shed, which tells the story of a man hoping to reconcile with his ailing father but unable to recall what led to their estrangement in the first place. All he can remember is that his alienation from his family stems from an event that occurred in the family’s potting shed when he was 14. With the help of his psychoanalyst, he tries to solve the mystery. (Evan Rytlewski)
