Grand Horizons

15 Nov – 7 Dec

By Bess Wohl

Directed by Jason Darlington

Content Warning: Adult themes, coarse language

50 years of married ‘bliss’. Then one simple request for divorce sends a close knit family into chaos.

Nancy and Bill have settled into their retired lifestyle at Grand Horizons. One evening, after dinner, Nancy asks for a divorce. Bill agrees, unfazed.

Their decision sends shockwaves through the family, particularly for their two middle-aged sons, Ben and Brian. The “kids” descend on Grand Horizons to “fix” their parents’ relationship, or at least talk them out of divorce. Ben grapples with his therapist wife, Jess and her ‘expert’ suggestions for repairing Bill and Nancy’s marriage. Meanwhile, younger brother Brian is dealing with his own identity crisis. A hilarious exploration of family relationships, marriage, love, growing old and discovering one’s true happiness.

This Tony nominated comedy bursts with all the joy and pathos of everyday life; theatre at its most enjoyable and familiar.
