Written by Martyna Majok, whose previous work Ironbound played Rattlesticks Playwrights Theatre, this darkly comic piece follows a set of four characters dealing with physical disabilities and heavy emotional baggage. Truck driver Eddie sits alone at a bar, recalling memories of his ex-wife Ani, who was injured in a car accident, while overworked caregiver Jess takes on the task of looking after cerebral palsy sufferer John. As their storylines converge, the play explores our understanding of disability and the cost of caring for the ones you love.
