Southern Comforts
by Kathleen Clark


Synopsis
Comedy / 1m, 1f / Interior / Some people need continuous change in order to feel vital and alive.
Others are terrified of unsettling the peace that they have established.
Two-time O'Neill Playwright's Conference participant Kathleen Clark uses her words to detail this tour-de-force journey of a widow and widower who meet later in life and find a way into each other's hearts.
Southern Copmforts is a beautiful exploration of the intimate workings of all relationships.
In a sprawling New Jersey Victorian, a taciturn Yankee widower and a vivacious grandmother from Tennessee find what they least expected - a second chance at love.
Their funny, awkward, and enchanting romance is filled with sweet surprise and unpredictable tribulation.
Told with warmth and perceptive humor, this off-Broadway success is an affecting, late-in-life journey of compromise and rejuvenation, of personal risk and the rewards of change.
