A poignant and deeply human drama, So Long Life explores memory, loss, and the enduring power of love with striking theatricality. Owen Robertson crafts a richly layered world where past and present collide, using Ned’s fragmented mind to reveal truth with both heartbreak and beauty. The dialogue is sharp and compassionate, balancing humor with raw emotion. A moving, resonant work.

SO LONG LIFE is a harrowing, sometimes brutal, yet touching deep dive into parents becoming the children, and the children becoming the parents. Anyone who's dealt with aging, ailing parents will recognize the love and pain attendant to the experience; Robertson masterfully captures the pain, the confusion, the anger, the loss, and most importantly the love that sometimes masquerades as hate and frustration on both sides. Deeply moving, and a field day for actors, especially older ones.

Set in a bar that echoes fading fame and fractured memory, this play is a poignant meditation on love, guilt, and reckoning. A once-celebrated actor’s Alzheimer’s forces his daughter to confront buried truths: an affair, a half-brother, and her mother’s tragic death in a long-ago fire. As the past collides with the present, his loyal best friend and wife remain steadfast, embodying grace, chosen family, and devotion until the end. A tight script and a compelling story. Highly recommend.
