David Lindsay-Abaire is loved
for his creation of quriky,
highly individual female
characters.
 
In the aftermath of an utterly unexpected tragedy, Becca finds herself adrift in an unrecognizable universe - a world where the mundane details of folded laundry or a small discarded sneaker can have the shattering impact of a hand grenade. As the people around her push and prod her to buck up, breakdown or just move on, she gradually regains her own unique and inspiring footing. With Poetic empathy, David Lindsay-Abaire has written a play rich with sweet relief for anyone who has ever lost something precious and then found the way back to embracing life.


   Regarding the title of this play,
   he says, "Things that used to
   make sense to [people who've
   suffered loss] made no sense
  at all. They do not understand
  why everyone's world has not
 changed the way their world
 has. It's sort of that Alice in
Wonderland point
of view; the world is
upside-down, and
how do I make it
right again?"
