This beautifully wrought drama, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2007,
tells the story of the Corbett family's search for comfort in a world
turned upside-down. A quietly moving play that's also witty and warm, the
story explores the reconnection of relationships and the possibilities of
hope after great tragedy. The play ultimately follows Becca and Howie
Corbett's struggle back to the light of day, with Lindsay-Abaire showing
the conflict, the anguish and the healing effects of humor with what the
New York Times called, "meticulously mapped empathy." Note: Contains
adult themes.
"David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted a drama that's not just a departure but
a revelation - an intensely emotional examination of grief, laced with
wit, insightfulness, compassion and searing honesty." — Variety
