Susan Merson

"The pain pushes til the vision pulls". Recovering from the death of her husband, Leah rediscovers the elements of living that pull her toward her new beginning. Giving up old habits, letting go of what was, accepting new lovers and a new beginning Leah finds the richness in her loss and the ways in which we all make it to the next step.

"Masterful and moving, Merson leads us through her journey with humor, beauty and not a touch of sentimentality. The language is full, the performance alive with longing."
