About
A note from the Playwright:
After my mother’s burst brain aneurysm, my family and I took turns sitting with her through her coma. We would escape the busyness and banter of our waiting room to share quiet moments with the one we loved most. Over time, I became absolutely fascinated by what my sisters, my cousins, my uncles were saying to her in there. This play imagines that. It goes back and forth between a waiting room and an ICU room as five people discover who they are while they wait.
-Amy Leigh Horan
