George has been waiting for this night – the seven stages of a lunar eclipse are viewable from the farm that he shares with his wife Em – and she decides to join him in taking in the view. As the couple has been married for decades, they know how to take care of each other, needle one another, and offer each other the companionship that has made their lives so full, even though the world has saddled them with great chasms of emptiness.
Like the celestial event unfolding above them, the evening becomes a moment of alignment—when the secrets the sky reveals illuminate the universal truths at the heart of a long marriage.
With humor, tenderness, and emotional precision, Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Donald Margulies crafts an intimate portrait of love, commitment, and the passage of time.
