'Sole Survivors' is a contemporary portrait of one American woman(“the coyote”) and three immigrants who put their lives on the line to seek – and realize – not only the American Dream, but their own, more personal and deeply-felt dreams of freedom. Life and death issues are closely counterposed in a dramatic, inspiring mini-saga of tender visions and painful, sharp-edged realism. Political expression and repression, marriage and divorce, even humor – touching, Chaplinesque humor and pathos – take center stage in Vest’s performance.

“’Sole Survivors’ is drawn from actual experiences and my interpersonal relationships,” says Vest. “I wanted to look beneath the usual stereotypes and assumptions, strip away commonplace cultural veneers, and explore the far more enlivening truths that exist there.”
