From Emmy Award-winning playwright Jane Anderson > comes this “magnetic work of theater” (San Francisco Chronicle) filled with compassion, hope and humor. Two wildly different cousins and their husbands (one family "Left Coast" Liberal and the other Midwestern Conservative) meet one weekend only to discover that life has thrown them both the greatest challenges a husband and wife could ever be asked to face. Through laughter, debate, empathy and ultimately love, can these couples from opposite backgrounds join together to find their common ground? Featuring four towering performances from Annette O’Toole (Smallville), Helen Hayes Award-winner Johanna Day (Broadway’s Proof and Arena’s The Rainmaker), Kevin O'Rourke (Broadway’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and Stephen Schnetzer (Broadway’s The Goat: Or Who is Sylvia and Arena’s Legacy of Light) this “remarkable and completely engrossing new play” (TheaterMania) explores the power of love and the quality of
life.
