Description
PASSING – A POIGNANT COMEDY ABOUT GETTING OLD TOGETHER
Meet Marvin and Mildred, two old timers sitting together and eating a piece of cake. They’re married. And have been so for many years. After his first wife, of course. In fact, Mildred always knows where to find Marvin if she’s lost him – at the hardware store, looking for nails. And so that’s where she goes. True as bob, she finds him there. His mind’s not quite what it used to be, nowadays, sometimes he needs a little reminder that she isn’t actually his first wife! And that they don’t have a cat. In fact, they never had a cat! So he doesn’t need to be fed. Really, he doesn’t. But he remembers what’s important. And so they talk. For as long as she needs. A poignant comedy about getting old.
