    I saw this play years ago and I still think about it! A great part for a female lead who can totally command the stage and captivate an audience for every breathing second. There is pain and hurt and yet it's VERY funny.

    A powerful moment when a wife finally needs to let all she has been containing free. Well done.

    The stellar prose of Grant MacDermott's exceptional short play "A Departure" doesn't dissect the history of a marriage nor does it indulge decay of the aging characters, but it peels back the husk of the somewhat dangerous clandestine secrets that ultimately keep the marriage in full bloom and makes the audience interrogate the nature of commitment and happiness. The final monologue is unornamented, unpretentious, and unassuming; a great piece for older actors and contemporary audiences.
