FULL LENGTH. Today should be a good day for Jo, her father is dying, but recent events and secrets complicate her emotions. It doesn’t help that she’s been waiting days for the inevitable to happen right beside her overbearing mother, whose mission is to change the narrative and paint of picture of her husband that is anything but true. Simon, her brother, the obvious favorite, is caught in the middle trying to please each side. The patriarch’s presence looms over the hospital room casting doubt and memory into his children, forcing Jo to question whether or not she will ever truly escape him. "Ashes Upon Ashes" is a play about toxicity, rage, and choice, and what happens when after a life of not having choice you’re finally allowed to choose.
