The Quality of Life (Theater)
Time: 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Location: Arena Stage in Crystal City
Arena Stage presents Quality of Life written by Emmy Award-winner Jane Anderson and directed by Lisa Peterson. In this “magnetic work of theater” (San Francisco Chronicle) filled with compassion, honesty and humor, we find two couples who are dealing with devastating personal tragedies. The couples meet one weekend in an attempt to forge a friendship out of distant familial bonds. The two couples, with widely different political and religious backgrounds, join together to confront their physical and emotional challenges as they deal with loss and survival. This "remarkable and completely engrossing new play" (TheaterMania) harnesses spirit and fortitude while exploring the promise of love, the pride of endurance and the quality of life.
