About the Show

Michael Cristofer’s Tony-winning play looks into the deep personal impact of terminal illness among three families who must face the inevitable.

Over the course of twenty-four hours, they will struggle through their own journeys towards self-acceptance.

But in the end, there must always be hope.

Not seen in New York in 25 years, Cristofer’s powerful portrayal of human struggles remains timely and still echoes the contemporary issues we face today, most especially in our current conversations on healthcare.
