By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, this play looks at marriage and the dissatisfactions of middle age, when choices have narrowed and the stakes for changing course have become so high. Each character feels a void in their life and seeks to fill it with an affair. Could they be happier with that other person? If so, at what cost? Is the emptiness they feel real, or just the drudgery of every day life? These characters felt like friends who both infuriated me and broke my heart. However you feel about them you 'll be compelled by their joureny.

Just listened to this on Gather By the Ghostlight. How wonderfully creepy yet funny. Like your worst nightmare, but with laughs!

What a wonderfully creepy play, especially in this time of AI and the doubts it inspires about what is real and what we can trust. This will have the audience on the edge of their seats!

What a beautiful play about end of life decisions. I immediately felt for and loved both characters, and wanted it to go on.

What a lovely play about grief and the legacy loved ones leave behind when they die. The characters, even the off stage, deceased Bubbie, are so real, the situation so relatable, and the humor so sweet and gentle, it is sure to please and move audiences.

What a thought provoking, entertaining play about an almost impossibly difficult moral dilemma! This family is so real and so endearing it may be the family you always wish you had--until it's not. Taking you through a gamut of emotions it asks what you would do. No doubt audience members will have very different answers to that question, and there will certainly be lively discussion afterward. This play can't help but intensely engage audiences, and leave them thinking long after the curtain goes down. I would LOVE to see it!

What a beautiful story! Donnelly sets this tale in the early days of the pandemic when all the potential fears, loneliness, and and frustrations of life were so heightened. In this setting the way two strangers touch each others' lives is all the more poignant. What makes these characters vulnerable is what also makes them connect, in spite of the huge barriers Covid presented The ending makes us wonder if that connection will continue, and hope it does.

What happens when a champion boxer gets beat by a girl? Jonathan Cook uses the hyper-masculine world of boxing to show how a fragile male ego might deal with such "humiliation". The funny turn around will be something men and, especially women, in work places all over will no doubt relate to. Fun social satire!

Using the occasion of siblings dividing up a recently deceased parent's possessions, Samarro quickly cuts to the core of family dysfunction. These siblings are people we know, struggling to reconcile the past as they face recent and more distant, haunting losses. Written with sensitivity and depth, this will leave the audience thinking and discussing long after the show.

What a fun and funny play! The characters are as rich as the St. Andre's cheese, and the way the culture clash, and personal issues are revealed through the tiniest of incidents is both hilarious and true to life. Masterful!
