Summary
The hit of New York's Cherry Lane Alternative Mentor Project 2001, this moving yet witty play takes place during the Serbian bombing of Sarajevo. Fate brings two remarkably different American women together on a flight to Austria. Memories, war, art and an Albanian Gypsy girl help Maisy and Maureen forge a totally unexpected bond of healing and freedom.
