Abstract |
"What is the road that brought us here? Unemployed truck driver Eddie sits at a bar alone, recalling his final moments with wife, Ani Luz, when a car accident turned the focus of their relationship from divorcing to caregiving. Overworked and underpaid, Jess takes on another job to make ends meet – this time, as a personal caregiver for a wealthy and beautiful graduate student named John, who has cerebral palsy. "Cost of Living" is a play that delves into the chasm between abundance and need and explores the space where bodies - abled and disabled, rich and poor - meet each other."-- Author's web site. |
