An excellent foray into the complexities of any relationship that survives through the decades. The actors held my attention every second. Well worth the time to see this short play that I could easily see again!

More Details About This Event:

Kate and Jake were married for more than 20 years. Now, recently widowed and faced with the daunting prospect of dating for the first time in decades, the memories of her marriage--some laughter and passion-filled, others frustration-ridden--surround Kate as she reevaluates her choices in this new chapter in her life. Botanic Garden offers a funny and refreshingly unsentimental look at loss, questioning our collective belief that "moving on" is the best medicine.
