Synopsis:
An episodic play with songs that traces the relationship between a 27-year-old daughter and her 50-year-old mother when the mother is dying of cancer. Other characters are the father, a younger sister, her boyfriend, and several doctors who can be played by one actor. A singer sings songs which form a counterpoint to the action. ".. - it is a stunning first play about the exploration of what a daughter and a mother say to each other and to themselves when the mother is dying - - - it gives us a deep sounding of one woman's development as a daughter, a woman and a writer." - Susan Braudy, Ms. Magazine. "Miss Moore is a very good writer, and there is scarcely a word too many in her text. She has pruned it and left room within it for silences that put me in mind of passages in Eliot's Four Quartets." - Brendan Gill, The New Yorker.
