ABOUT THE PLAY: Facing a personal crisis and taking a break from her marriage of twenty years, Haley has gone to Maine, connected with an old friend and started writing again. Her husband Charlie has already been questioning the realities of life, and Haley's leaving finds him sharing his misery with Gabe, a man who can lend a sympathetic ear only up to a point. Gabe and Charlie go in search of Haley and some answers, but the answers are not quite what they expect.

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT: Jeanne Beckwith's plays have been performed all around this country and as far away as Dublin and Istanbul. She has had plays performed from San Diego to Boston including Chicago's Otherworld Theatre's "Paragon Festival," The New Jersey Rep's "Brut Festival," and by "Turned to Flesh Productions" in New York City.
