WINNER! 2009 Ted Schmitt Award for the world premiere of an Outstanding New Play - Los Angeles Drama Critics CircleOrange County, California, 1975. For Walter Wells, it''s the happiest place on earth. He has a beautiful wife. Two great kids. A house with a pool. Contentment. Until fate strikes a devastating blow, leaving Walter with no reason to put the pieces of his life back together. He resists attempts to help, especially the unexpected - and unwanted - offer from a Vietnamese refugee named Bao Ngo, who bears his own sadness. Then, across a cultural divide, Walter and Bao find a game to share, a song, a meal and then a way back in this uplifting - and surprisingly funny - new play by a rising star in American theatre. Wry and affecting...Myatt''s characters are so engaging that it''s easy to push them toward comedy, which tends to reassure rather than surprise us. -
