“Hope is a strange invention” -Emily Dickenson

A new play by critically acclaimed novelist Natalie Bates. The battle between love and fear, played out in a Chicago suburb of 1972. Two women, married with grown children, have discovered, to their astonishment, that they have fallen in love. So much more than a period piece, this “honest, lyrical account of the cost of loving” captures their journey to wrench free of conventional obligations and carve a space to live out their love.
