Grace and Glorie

by Tom Ziegler

This charmer play centers on Grace, a feisty 90 year old cancer patient, who has checked herself out of the hospital and returned to her beloved homestead cottage in the mountains to die alone. The volunteer hospice worker who comes with the pain medication Grace willfully left behind is a Harvard MBA recently transplanted to this rural backwater from New York. Glorie is tense, unhappy and guilt ridden, her only child having been killed in an auto accident when she was driving. As she attempts to care for and comfort the cantankerous rustic, this stylish urbanite gains new perspectives on values and life's highs and lows. Grace and Glorie is honest, hopeful, sentimental, filled with good humor and a crowd pleaser.
