Winner of the 1991 Dramatists Guild Hull-Warriner Award and the John Gassner Award. Winner of the 1991—1992 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play and the 1991—1992 Drama Desk Award for Best Play. A hilarious and wondrous account of one woman's commitment to loving others first, and her belief that giving such love has made her life unbelievably rich, even as she faces her own death. "…one of the funniest plays of the year as well as one of the wisest and most moving. When the American theater gains a new voice this original, this unexpected, you really must hear it for yourself." —NY Times. "…written with a blazing, tender accuracy that grips you with the force of revelation…" —Village Voice. "…the themes of death, love, duty, care and service are frugally intertwined in a play of considerable emotional resonance. Laughing one minute, we are shuddering with a stealthy empathy the next. Death has rarely seemed more interesting or love so complex." —NY Post.
