The Quality of Life at The Weekend Theater

In this magnetic work of theater, filled with compassion, honesty and humor, Dinah and Bill, a devout, church-going couple from the Midwest are struggling to keep their lives intact after the loss of their daughter. Dinah is compelled to reconnect with her left-leaning cousins in Northern California who’re going through their own trials. Jeannette and Neil have lost their home to a wildfire and Neil has cancer. However they seem to have accepted their situation with astounding good humor, living in a yurt on their burn site and celebrating life with hits of pot and glasses of good red wine. Bill and Dinah are both moved and perplexed by their cousins’ remarkable equanimity. But that’s just where the real drama begins! The Quality of Life explores a myriad of ethical, religious, and moral beliefs, as well as personal rights issues concerning life and death.
Directed by Allison Pace.
