Highlights
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play's pacing and development. Many appreciate the heartfelt moments and authenticity of the relationship between the characters, but some readers feel the relationship evolves too quickly for believability.
Synopsis
Grace, a feisty 90 year-old cancer patient, has checked herself out of the hospital and returned to her beloved homestead cottage to die alone.
Her volunteer hospice worker, Glorie, is a Harvard MBA recently transplanted to this rural backwater from New York.
Glorie is tense, unhappy and guilt-ridden, her only child having been killed in an auto accident when she was driving.
As she attempts to care for and comfort the cantankerous Grace, the sophisticated Glorie gains new perspectives on values and life's highs and lows.
Press Reviews
"A sentimental odd couple crowd pleaser...[with] a steady drip of easy laughs."
— The New Tork Times
"A lot of good humor...artfully designed to confirm hopes...Offers the opportunity for good, honest, grandstanding acting."
— The New York Post
