*Story:*
A wealthy New York couple, strained to the breaking point by caring for
their severely disabled daughter, Emily, weigh their own happiness against
that of their child - with shocking consequences. Emily's lyrical poetry,
the bitter volleys of the couple's disintegrating marriage, and the
appraisals of the outside world frame the narrative of the insightful play.
A Nervous Smile is a brutal portrait of love, lust and despair set against
Belluso's fiery brand of social satire.

*"Provocative...meaty topics of immediate political and social
currency...honest, funny and compassionate." - The New York Times*

empathy and obvious skill, Belluso is a name to remember." - The San Diego
Union - Tribune*
