About the Audition...

The Story:

One of the most powerful shows of 2018 comes to the Trustus Side Door Theatre. Eddie, an unemployed truck driver is reunited with his ex-wife Ani after she suffers a devastating accident. John, a brilliant and witty doctoral student, hires overworked Jess as a caregiver. As their lives intersect, this play delves into the gap between abundance and need and explores the space where bodies - abled and disabled - meet each other.

The Characters:

Ani, female, early 40s. Pronounces her name, "Ah-nee." She was involved in an automobile accident and has a severe incomplete spinal cord injury. Ani is quadriplegic though some of the fingers of one hand are still partially functioning.

John, male, mid-20s. John uses a wheelchair, he's beautiful, and he has cerebral palsy. He has a halted way of speaking but otherwise, he is determinedly polished. He comes from wealth and wears it well.

[Note: Both Ani and John appear in bathing scenes.]
