After a decade, Theo returns to his hometown as his mother’s health deteriorates. What was supposed to be a quick reconciliation balloons into an extended stay, pulling Theo back into the orbits of people he hasn’t seen in years. They all help Margaret through the last phase of her life in this tender, heartwarming play about family, forgiveness and the importance of being present.
After a fraught exodus almost a decade ago, Theo returns to his hometown in the Catskills, only to learn the health of his mother, Margaret, is deteriorating. What was supposed to be a quick reconciliation balloons into an extended stay, pulling Theo back into the orbits of people he hasn’t seen in years: his sister, Beth, a single mom who resents him for making her take care of their aging mother alone; Beth’s transgender child, Maddy, who desperately wants to be seen for who she really is; and Abe, Margaret’s nurse and a former classmate of Theo’s, who is dealing with his own ghosts. As they help Margaret through the last phase of her life, they’re forced to lean on each other and to reveal parts of themselves they would much rather stay hidden. A tender, heartwarming play about family, forgiveness and the importance of being present in one’s own life.
