Schreck, Heidi,author.
Having dedicated her life to religious service, Shelley runs a Bronx soup kitchen with unsentimental efficiency, but lately her heart's not quite in it. Her brisk nature masks an unsettling fear that her efforts are meaningless. When Emma--an idealistic but confused college dropout--arrives to volunteer, her reckless mix of generosity and self-involvement pushes Shelley to the breaking point.
A play for 2 male and 2 female roles.
"Drama / 2m, 2f / interior set"--back cover.
