An incredibly moving play about an artist who begins to lose his abilities with language and finds an outlet to help him reclaim it in a new way. A wife finds a new ways to connect with her husband and the question is which one is more real. Touching and well done!

This play was developed at The National New Play Network MFA Playwrights Workshop. This program, conducted annually in conjunction with The Kennedy Center and the National Center for New Plays, provides a graduate–level student playwright with an NNPN-affiliated director and dramaturg, a professional cast for a week of script development, and an introduction to the Network, its Membership, and programs.

We included this play as part of our reading series in 2011 and had a really great response from our audience. It is about the intersection of art, language and love and what happens when they are all lost. The weaving of direct audience address and scenes plays well. I think Meridith has captured a very unique, complex, love story that investigates an aspect of dementia not often considered.
