ABOUT THE PLAY
Winner of the 2013–2014 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play. Tommy’s just getting by. He’s renting a run-down room in uncle’s house, rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc. He comes to the aid of Aimee, who’s not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how. Their pasts won’t let go easily, but together there’s a glimmer of hope they could make something more of their lives, something extraordinary, perhaps. With inimitable warmth, style, and craft, this play deftly mines the humanity found in the most unlikely of situations.
