Synopsis
When a husband and wife have trouble coping with the loss of their son, they find themselves speaking in cliches and the husband travels to forget.
The wife stays with their daughter and the tooth fairy and tries to figure out how to cope from home.
Through the skillfully disarming use of clichéd language and homilies, the play explores with subtle grace and depth the way the death of a child tears one family apart, while showcasing the talents of a promising and clever young playwright.
