    A play about regret that hits about as hard as Death of a Salesman and Follies. Katie sacrificed everything she ever wanted in life to help raise her little sister and now that her sister is leaving the nest Katie must face everything she gave up. This is a tear jerker to say the least, and a masterful piece of literature that deserves a star-driven production on Broadway ASAP!
