The Shadow Box

The Shadow Box takes place in cottages on the grounds of what, at the time of the play’s debut, is described as a hospital; in practice, we would probably refer to it today as a hospice facility. The play focuses on three patients and their interactions with the families. “By far the finest play of the New York season, a beautifully relized drama of sensitive perceptions ofter as funny as it is moving….” Washington Post. Winner of the 1977 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play.
