Summary

A woman seeks renewal after loss in this touching 35-minute play. Ellie, who has lived on land "flat as an old man's feet" for forty years, packs a satchel, covers the sofa with a sheet and sets out to see what's on the other side of the mountain. She is followed. Is it Calvin there behind her, or is it her husband?
