Sometimes the theatre is the perfect place to explore some of life’s toughest questions. Playwrights and actors for thousands of years have been using the stage to help audiences grasp the core tenets of philosophy, religion, and metaphysical concepts.

The powerfully imagined Pulitzer Prize-winning play examines what makes life worth living through the exploration of one of existence's unifying experiences-mortality-while also probing the vital importance of human relationships.
