The Quality of Life
Red and blue state worlds collide in this compassionate and humorous drama. Struggling to keep their marriage intact after the loss of their daughter, Dinah and Bill, devout church going conservatives from Ohio, visit their left-wing cousins Jeannette and Neil, who have just lost their home in the Berkley hills to a wildfire. Even more tragic, Neil is dying of cancer. But to their cousins' surprise, the couple, now living in a yurt on their burn site, continue to celebrate life with hits of pot and glasses of red wine. Sympathy turns to rage, however, when deep-seeded values and uncompromising beliefs are put the ultimate test. Ethical, religious, and moral beliefs about the right to both life and death are on full display in Jane Anderson's gripping play, now receiving its Chicago premier, directed by Lia Mortensen.
