An hour-long play that deals with life, love, grief, AIDS and death. It weaves poems in with dramatic action through ensemble and physical theatre. The perception, the honesty and the love expressed in this play by two brothers experiencing a ghastly situation is both deeply moving and unexpectedly joyful. By turns, thoughtful, heart-poundingly exciting and terribly sad, this is a play that grabs the reader.
