ABOUT THE SHOW

By Donald Margulies

The partnership between a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent is based upon telling the toughest stories and, together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life.
“Margulies’ dialogue crackles with bright wit and intelligence … the range of feeling it explores is wide and deep.” (New York Times)
“Compellingly demonstrates what a master playwright can do with great economy and efficiency … A rare play that encompasses universal issues and personal problems with equal compassionate insight.” (Bloomberg)
