Love, loss and finding the unexpected
When a retired librarian is held hostage by a tough-talking teenager, they gradually discover that what they have both lost is the one thing they have in common. This award-winning play casts us into the world of magic realism, where time shuffles and dances with grief, the slowness of healing, and the unpredictable rhythms of shared wisdom.
“Francophone playwrights have a unique sensibility—interpreting the world with surprising wit and unique imagination. This play exemplifies those qualities. It is such a stunning confusion of aching need and fierce self-protection, wrapped in a magic realism that makes a mockery of time—to the point where we happily abandon ourselves to the heart of what Harrisson has conjured for us.” – Michael Shamata, Belfry Artistic Director
