Lillian (Closed)
A beautiful one-person play by David Cale. Starring Nancy Travis, LILLIAN tells the story of a middle-aged British woman who becomes romantically involved with a much younger man. The play’s depiction of being open to life’s curveballs is perfect for our times.

About the Play
Lillian, a bookish middle-aged British woman, falls for Jimmy, a man half her age. Promptly divorcing her husband, she marries the young man and buys a flower shop to support his desire to be a gardener. Unbeknownst to Lillian, however, Jimmy has a terminal heart condition, and his anticipation of the end fills him with a restless energy.
