I had the pleasure of seeing the Boston Court/IAMA production of this play, which was spectactular, from the set design, sound and lighting, to the fabulous acting, to the creative and inventive directing. But the play itself is masterful in its integration of story, theme, metaphors, and characters. And even if one doesn't have a family member struggling with memory loss, the journey, the relationships with family, and the connection we all have to this planet is deeply relatable.

This play is an absolute gem! The magnificent Boston Court / IAMA production aside, the play itself is a masterclass in structure, characterization, themes, and lyrical poetry. Palmquist, as in much of her other work, keeps our world - from its denizens to the ground in which we walk - as the primary focus of the journey. Educational, inspiring, and a gift to its actors, she beautifully interweaves the complexities of ageing with the gorgeous landscapes that we take for granted - as we're often too scared to opt for the road less traveled. THIS is a welcoming road indeed!

A lyrical and often poignant piece that speaks of the fragility of memories, both external and internal. Anne and David are visiting places that are disappearing and, even worse, have already disappeared; the perfect metaphor for the ordeal Anne is currently dealing with. This one is both about the journey and the destination, and whatever form those may take, and the willingness to take detours when necessary.
