Maggie and Agnes are waiting for the house people to come. It’s time to move on. Read more …
Maggie needs proper care. But Maggie’s always lived here. She’s not going anywhere and besides, she’s got all of her friends over, she’s got to make an effort to entertain. As Maggie struggles to hold on to her home and her memory, Agnes must decide whether she will help her, or whether it really is time to go.
If the play’s vision of Maggie’s final days is unremittingly sad and poignant, it still creates two completely memorable characters, fully human to the end.
