Synopsis

The hit of New York's Cherry Lane Alternative Mentor Project 2001, this moving yet witty play takes place during the Serbian bombing of Sarajevo.

Fate brings two remarkably different American women together on a flight to Austria.

Memories, war, art and an Albanian Gypsy girl help Maisy and Maureen forge a totally unexpected bond of healing and freedom.

Press Reviews

"A poignant play ... with a timeless message."

— Palm Beach Post

"A touching, multihued fable whose emotional resonance is brought home by ... the new war rising ... on our own doorstep."

— South Florida Sun Sentinel
