A Package to India

Recommended by

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: A Package to India

    I love it when a piece of writing makes me tear up. This beautiful short play by Robert Weibezahl made me do just that. Longing to go to India after being left alone for years, Lucille convinces Blake to take her along on his trip to India. But circumstances aren't what they seem. Promises are kept, but in a most unusual way.
