NEW YORK—A tantalizing set greets us on the stage of Playwrights Horizons: It is an enormous sand dune, representing a warm beach somewhere in Rhode Island, which will be home for four characters in Gregory S. Moss’s new play, “Indian Summer.”

Sixteen-year-old Daniel (Owen Campbell) is a temporary transplant from an unnamed “big city” (Providence no doubt, certainly a fitting choice for this play). He passes a boring time while waiting for his mother, off somewhere “taking care of things,” to pick him up in approximately two months’ time.

Daniel is in the care of his grandfather George (Jonathan Hadary), a somewhat tetchy but caring man who is grieving for his recently deceased wife.
