A play by SUSAN GRIFFIN
Five American women from very different backgrounds and age-groups tell the story of their lives. Kate is an elderly distinguished actress; Grace s life has revolved around her children; Maya is into politics and academic study; Erin is obsessed by her brother's suicide; Rosalinde is young and carefree. But they have all experienced at some time a similar feeling of isolation and emptiness which binds their stories together.
