​

Bill und Nancy haben fünfzig volle Jahre als Mann und Frau verbracht.  Sie atmen praktisch unisono und können jedem Seufzen, Schnarchen und Niesen des anderen zuvorkommen.  Doch gerade als sie sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause in Grand Horizons gemütlich einrichten, geschieht das Undenkbare:  Nancy will plötzlich raus.  Während ihre beiden erwachsenen Söhne mit der schockierenden Nachricht zu kämpfen haben, sind sie gezwungen, alles in Frage zu stellen, was sie von den Menschen, die sie am besten zu kennen glaubten, angenommen hatten.  Das neue Stück von Bess Wohl, das abwechselnd lustig, schockierend und schmerzhaft ehrlich ist, erforscht eine auf den Kopf gestellte Familie und wirft einen intimen Blick auf die wilde, unberechenbare und dauerhafte Natur der Liebe.
