Show description: Claire wakes up every morning a blank slate. She has a rare form of amnesia and her husband must sketch in the details of their lives. On this day, things go sideways when Claire is abducted by a mysterious man claiming to be her brother, out to save her from her evil husband. They travel to the home of their mother, a recent stroke victim who can barely speak. Every twist and turn brings Claire closer to revealing her past life and everything she thought she’d forgotten. This poignant and brutal comedy traces one woman’s attempt to regain her memory while surrounded by a curio-cabinet of alarmingly bizarre characters. Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
