ABOUT THE SHOW
“Sublime, heartbreaking, funny, and fiercely intelligent” – Broadway World
Prudence, aka "PRU PAYNE" is a contemporary Dorothy Parker: a sharp-tongued intellectual and critic who recently signed on to share her extraordinary life in an eagerly-awaited autobiography.
But when PRU's memory starts to fade, her son sets her up in a state-of-the-art care facility, where love takes hold just as the world she once knew begins to slip away.
With wit, verve, and above all, heart, Pulitzer Prize nominee Steven Drukman explores questions of memory, identity, and connection.
