Things Fall (Meanwhile)

Falling
by Deanna Jent
Synopsis
THE STORY: FALLING boldly explores the dynamic and complicated reality of a family with an autistic young man.
When a relative comes to visit, the entire family is thrown out of equilibrium, with everyone trying to balance what is best for the family and what is best for them.
The play bravely speaks a truth about love and family and about hopes and dreams.
It asks, “How do you love someone who is difficult to love?”
