Rural New England at the start of Reagan's second term.  Meg and Ben are just a creditor away from losing their family farm.  To the rescue flies a high-powered businessman -- in a private chopper no less -- offering a tidy sum for a taste of farm life and the pure, raw milk that goes with it. 

Even before locavores roamed the earth, "back to the land" was hardly as simple as its promise; livestock and humans aren't known for behaving as expected.  And so it is in MILK, an elegant parable of change set on the cusp of a shifting American landscape.

What if the entirety of Hamlet were performed by two actors? What if those two actors were played by only one man? One man's hopes, dreams and deep-seated fears become feverishly intertwined with Shakespeare's greatest tragedy in this mind-bending, soul-searching, multi-media tightrope act.
