ABOUT THE PLAY
A year after a devastating fire razed their home in the Berkeley Hills, left-leaning Jeanette and Neil are living a bohemian lifestyle in a yurt on their burned-out property. Neil’s health is deteriorating, and Jeanette’s conservative Mid-Western cousins arrive to show their support, but their dissimilarities quickly become apparent. This compelling drama is written with compassion, humor, and honesty.
