How You Win

    Very touching as a stand-alone piece. It's about first steps, the persistence of love and memory, and the courage to face the closet.

    WENDY VOGEL’s “How You Win” is a beautiful scene from a full length play. I was moved by the everlasting love between Paul and his wife, who has passed away from cancer. Loneliness, regret, and guilt are only some of the intense emotions in the scene.

    A beautiful scene between these two characters. A very moving exploration of grief and how we move on, if at all, when the unthinkable happens. You're left at the end with hope, which sometimes is all we can ask for. It's indicated that this is part of a larger work, but this scene also works very well on its own merits. A very good read that would do well in a performance!
