WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Playwrights Horizons presents the New York premiere of Memory House, a new play by Kathleen Tolan, directed by David Esbjornson.
The play stars two-time Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters, Bullets Over Broadway).
A timely, authentic portrait of a girl - and a world - on the cusp of uncertain future, Memory House takes place on New Year's Eve, as devoted mother Maggie (Wiest) bakes a pie, and her daughter Katia struggles to finish her college entrance essay before the midnight postmark deadline.
