Event Information
Description
After fifty seemingly content years together, Nancy and Bill shock their adult sons with their decision to divorce. What follows is a whirlwind of revelations, long-buried secrets and unspoken desires, as everyone grapples with their own assumptions about love and commitment. Both hilarious and profoundly moving, Wohl’s play masterfully blends laugh-out-loud moments with raw emotional truths. It’s a touching commentary on how well we really know those closest to us — and ourselves. Perfect for fans of modern, insightful storytelling, Grand Horizons examines the courage it takes to pursue happiness at any age, proving that reinvention and honesty are always possible.
