My first job out of college was in the HIV+ community, and this script captures the heartbreak and helplessness of that period perfectly. Marotta's depiction of illness and family is complex and poignant, and watching her characters struggle with forgiveness (life is overflowing with questions of forgiveness) is gorgeous and sadly too rare. Why this script hasn't seen a full production yet is a mystery.

Grittily poetic, unrelentingly brave. This play tells a beautiful story with love and integrity. It also offers complex, authentic roles for four actresses of two generations - two sets of actors portray sisters Meg and Ellen. Working on this play in development has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
