Description
In the wake of the September 11 attacks, New York City fire captain Nick has the monumental task of writing eulogies for eight of his men who were killed. Unable to adequately put his memories and sentiments into words, he enlists the help of Joan, a news editor and former journalist. Nick and Joan come from completely different worlds and, were it not for the attacks, never would have met. United through tragedy, Nick and Joan discover a shared humanity as they craft poignant remembrances of “the guys”. The play is somewhat autobiographical; playwright Anne Nelson based the character Joan on herself and her own experiences as a foreign journalist in Central America. One of the first plays written immediately after September 11, Nelson’s one-act is a sensitive examination of loss, connection, and the power of language.
Note
As part of this commemorative 25th Anniversary of 9/11 production, Studio Theatre of Long Island plans to donate a significant percentage of the proceeds from the production to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which since 9/11 has supported America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families, fallen first responder families with young children, and catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
