“Someone Close to You”
A new play by Melissa Borgerding
A mother-to-be, a mother-in-law, and the husband/son that both of them love … what brings them together, what tears them apart, and the questions that are answered in the process.
And what role do four hand-made cups play in that process?
Funny and touching in the manner of the best American plays, “Someone Close to You” poses questions as well as answers that will leave you laughing, crying, and thinking about the obligations all of us owe to each other.
