BETWEEN HERE AND WHERE YOU ARE
by Bambi Everson
Today’s “Play of the Day” is a poignant short entitled BETWEEN HERE AND WHERE YOU ARE. It is a heartfelt exploration of grief, friendship, and the struggle to move forward after a profound loss.
Set in present-day Manhattan, BETWEEN HERE AND WHERE YOU ARE introduces us to Leslie, a movie geek who is grappling with the recent loss of her partner. Her friends Karen and Dave, a couple with their own quirks and idiosyncrasies, provide a comforting, if sometimes intrusive, presence in her life. The story unfolds in Leslie’s apartment, a space filled with memories of her lost love, and the outside world that she is hesitant to rejoin.
BETWEEN HERE AND WHERE YOU ARE is a touching portrayal of the grieving process, showing how Leslie navigates her way through the pain, guilt, and longing that come with losing a loved one. The dialogue is sharp and witty, with a sprinkling of cinematic references that reflect Leslie’s passion for movies and her longing for her partner. The play also explores the theme of friendship, showing how Karen and Dave’s well-intentioned but sometimes overbearing concern for Leslie’s well-being adds a layer of complexity to their relationship.
It is a play that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss. It’s a reminder that grief is a personal journey, one that doesn’t follow a set timeline or a prescribed set of stages. It’s a play that encourages us to be patient with ourselves and others as we navigate the complexities of life, loss, and love.
BETWEEN HERE AND WHERE YOU ARE will be released in paperback later this year, as part of a collection of short plays. It is available for licensing directly from the author. Send us an email if you’d like to do a production.
