Ticket Information

In this Pulitzer Prize winning play, three terminal cancer patients dwell in separate cottages on a hospital’s grounds.  With a sense of humor and sensitivity the play dramatizes their anxieties and their coming to grips with the finality of their condition-a preordained future whose only imponderable is its exact length.  The three are attended and visited by family and close friends who struggle with their own anxieties and fears of the impending loss.

“By far the finest play of the New York season, beautifully realized drama of sensitive perceptions often as funny as it is moving.” Washington Post

“Extraordinary.  An overwhelming emotional experience. 
Truly startling and in its uncompromising way, very funny." Boston Globe
