THE RETREAT FROM MOSCOW

by William Nicholson
January 26 - February 19, 2006

DRAMA
Edward teaches history, and is most happy behind his daily crossword. Alice collects poems of lost love for her new anthology. Their thirty-three year anniversary is just days away. When their son Jamie comes home for a weekend visit, Edward makes an announcement that rips through the family like an emotional hurricane, leaving Alice and Jamie to salvage the wreckage. Somehow love, that couldn’t save a family, must be strong enough to save them all.
