The Story

Jamie arrives for a visit with his parents to find them strangers not only to him, but to each other. Alice’s passion is poetry. Edward’s passion is gone. Like Napoleon’s brutal retreat from Moscow, their journey leaves no winners, only wounded survivors. This incisive and sometimes humorous consideration of a marriage that could not last was a highlight of the current Broadway season.
