Grace & Glorie

Synopsis

A play in two acts

Grace, a feisty 90 year-old cancer patient, has checked herself out of the hospital and returned to her beloved homestead cottage to die alone.

Her volunteer hospice worker, Glorie, is a Harvard MBA recently transplanted to this rural backwater from New York.

Glorie is tense, unhappy and guilt-ridden, her only child having been killed in an auto accident when she was driving.

As she attempts to care for and comfort the cantankerous Grace, the sophisticated Glorie gains new perspectives on values and life's highs and lows.
