Description

Drama / 2m, 3f / Simple Set Come Back, Come Back, Wherever You Are, a play by the widely-acclaimed, Tony Award-winning theatre legend Arthur Laurents, is an intimate, emotional drama about a cabaret singer coping with the devastating death of her husband, while trying to navigate her overbearing, controlling mother-in-law and the aggressive advances of a sexually persistent, handsome, new suitor.

Recently widowed Sara must comes to terms with her husband's death but is haunted by visions of him.

Her fixation on his posthumous messages dampens her historically lukewarm relationship with Marion, her therapist mother-in-law, who is disturbingly pragmatic about the passing of her son.

Sara's grief is also altered by Michelle, her under-appreciated sister-in-law, who is struggling both with her sexual identity and her relationship to her deceased brother.

All is complicated by Dougal, a picture framer who is struck by the earnest Sara.

Come Back, Come Back, Wherever You Are is a gripping drama about grief and the ability of a family to cope with loss.

But at its heart, it is a play about love. It was part of the 2009 season at the George Street Playhouse. "The prolific Laurents has given his play a crisp staging, cramming the 90-minute wake with enough heartbreak and ardor to fill a grand opera." - Variety
