Hunter was raised in Moscow, Idaho, not far from the setting of Sarah’s house. A gifted realist and an excavator of a particular American loneliness, he often names his slice-of-alienated-life plays after towns in his home state: “A Bright New Boise,” “Lewiston,” and the recent “Grangeville,” which premièred in February at the Signature.
