"…lively dialogue that flexibly encompasses many modes, from wry to lyrical, from erotic to spiritual…[THIEF RIVER] keeps you involved: sometimes through amusement, sometimes through empathy and always through curiosity about what comes next." —NY Magazine. "Mr. Blessing's storytelling is not only inventive but adroit…[He] unspools the plot ingeniously…an absorbing evening." —NY Times. "Wistful and sweet-spirited…a quietly devastating picture of lost possibilities and love curtailed by circumstances…" —Variety.

THE STORY: THIEF RIVER is the story of two men and their fifty-three-year relationship. Ray marries and remains closeted in the small town where they grew up.

Throughout their lives they struggle with their feelings for each other in a society that doesn't know how to make room for them, while their bond—shaped by a dark and violent event in their youth—forever draws them together.
