An elderly married couple named Manny and Ceil live a Spartan existence in a cabin in the woods, even though they are financially well-off due to Manny’s canny stock market investments. For over a half century, Ceil has taken care of Manny, indulging his quirks and turning the bucolic cabin into a refuge against the world’s often harsh realities. Now, Ceil is dying of cancer and Manny cannot accept the inescapable reality of her illness: that she must leave him to go into the hospital. He is selfish and irascible – yes- but he deeply love his wife and know that, once she is gone he himself will cease to exist. This is a lovely drama with two superb roles for elderly performers.
