Directions

Susan and Maya embark on a hike up a mountain to scatter the ashes of Susan’s husband Henry. The idea is to go to a place the couple loved and leave the ashes at a peaceful, final resting place. But soon enough, things happen that Susan never expected, as some things go wrong – and others go wonderfully right. A new, life-affirming dramedy by TNC resident playwright Claude Solnik written in the style of Elizabeth Coplan’s Grief Dialogues, a group and a movement about how love can help us deal with death and loss, and provide a greater appreciation of every moment of our lives.
