Both Elizabeth and David are young cancer patients, and during their hospital stay they have developed a close and tender friendship. At a time when Elizabeth feels that her family and friends have become distant, she turns more and more to David for talk, understanding and companionship. During a visit from her sister and the minister's son, there is a dramatically honest confrontation in which Elizabeth must hear about the other side—what it is like for the family, their fears, frustrations and pain. They must all seek strength to help them through the waning days.
We performed at State Theatre Festival and received "Critic's Choice," "Outstanding Directing" and four "Outstanding Acting" awards. It's a thought-provoking play!

The show is difficult and complicated in that it explores very real, honest relationships through the difficulty of cancer. Although the language feels simple at times, the raw emotions underneath it are complex. My students struggled, but in the best way with this show. A wonderful opportunity for growth for actors looking to push themselves.
