A son visits his elderly parents for just one day after a long separation.
A strange young woman and a taciturn laborer are waiting in line to see a therapist.

A young father talks about how he quit smoking.

In short, these are brief scenes from the lives of a wide variety of people—both funny and sad—that take place before the war has even begun.
Audiences are sure to have an unforgettable theatrical experience as the action unfolds in a truly intimate space, where there is almost no boundary between the stage and the audience. There is only the audience, the actors, and the performance.
