Things turn sour quickly when she must take in Marilyn, a new roommate to share her precious space. In a satirical conflict of territory and control, Lindsay-Abaire spins a benign, typically mundane setting into an absurdist, colorful battleground. This high-stakes comedy examines our expectations of what it means to grow old in twenty-first century America, and what happens when a sense of possession collides with a mania of obsession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Lindsay-Abaire\u003c\/b\u003e's plays include \u003ci\u003eGood People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFuddy Meers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKimberly Akimbo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWonder of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHigh Fidelity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Devil Inside\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRabbit Hole\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
