Description

In this critically acclaimed new play, Connie Gault weaves together strands of myth, magic, and fairytale. After a vacation abroad with friends, a middle-aged woman is tempted by ancient gold beads, crones, a mysterious child and a ruby ring. When a charming scoundrel offers to take her on a mysterious journey, she has to decide what she is willing to risk to live her life. Gault's rich language explores the nature of desire-from its first shimmer to the dark of disillusionment-and raises questions about the true meaning of longing and loss.
