Bare stage with set pieces

Anne and Colin are a thirty-ish British couple who desperately want a child. With stark realism, harrowing insight, and dark humor, their efforts to achieve this blessing are portrayed as the embers of their hope become the ashes of their dreams and with bitter experience they summon the strength and love to go on.

"Probably the most important play of the season...It is entertaining, it is funny, it is bitter, and it is handsomely poetic."-The New York Times
