Synopsis

This sublimely beautiful play won the Heideman Award at the Actors Theatre of Louisville.

Long estranged from the family, Billie hopes to convince her aging mother, Nell, to come and live with her.

However, Nell's relationship to Louise, Billie's sister who waivers between extremities on the spectrum, is complicated, and Louise has her own desires when it comes to her sister.

A play about family and the things we do for love.
