THE STORY: Martha has cancer and demands attention. Danny doesn’t want to deal. Thomas has things he’d like to forget. Steven loves too much. Susan feels betrayed. Martin is confused.

“…a coolly thoughtful and taut meditation by the stylish playwright Mark Schultz…Mr. Schultz writes with a miniaturist’s sense of scale. Following the lead of Mamet and Albee, he prunes his dialogue to one- and two-word sentences (pronouns are the first to go) and builds deceptively complex exchanges out of short, punchy scenes.” —The New York Times.
“A moving comedy-drama blessed with a splendid production…Schultz creates a quirky, occasionally funny threnody on the painful uncertainties of life and the lure and mystery of death.” —Backstage.
“Shrewd and funny.” —Village
