by Tom Cole

THE STORY: ABOUT TIME takes place in the condominium kitchen of an old married couple.

He cannot move around quite as fast as he once did.

Neither see their children as much as they would like.

Yet both certainly have their wits about them as the dialogue snaps and crackles its way through the four scenes.

Faced with the thought of mortality, they grapple with what it means to share—and to come to the end of—a life together.
