After twenty years apart, Emma tracks Ulysses to a trailer-park in the middle of nowhere and finds her ex-husband out of friends, out of luck, and just about to ride off into the sunset. What unfolds during the course of the play is a bittersweet and profound meditation on love and loss.The talented cast of Annapurna includes Peter Galman (Broadway: 40 Carats,Television:"Law & Order", "As the World Turns", "Another World") as Ulysses, an expert at gleeful, devil-may-care self denial and a dedicated (and now ex) drinker who in a past life was a Western cowboy-poet and professor of English, and Gina Bonati (Theater: Macbeth, Hedda Gabler, Uncle Vanya) as Emma, his ex-wife, a protective New Englander whose single moment of weakness was falling in love with Ulysses.
