This is a dramatic comedy performed with no intermission.
80-year-old Alexandra, is an artist living on her own in her apartment in New York. Her children believe she should move into an assisted facility. Conversations between mother and children have escalated, and now they are at a stand-off. Alexandra is passionate, intelligent and determined to remain independent… so determined in fact, that she’s barricaded herself in her apartment, and filled it with Molotov cocktails. One wrong step and the entire block will be incinerated. This behavior is exactly why her one son and daughter think she needs to move “someplace else” and have “someone” take care of her. They devise a plan and ask a third sibling, Chris, to act as a mediator between them and their mother in an effort to bring Mom to her senses. Chris has his work cut out for him. And, Alexandra – well, she has cocktails. Lots and lots and lots of them.
