The place is a remote cabin in the wilds of Alaska. As a blizzard rages outside, a lonely figure, Henry Harry, lies sleeping under a heap of blankets. Suddenly, he is awakened by the insistent knocking of an unexpected visitor who turns out to be Rosannah DeLuce, a distraught young woman who has fled all the way from Arizona to escape her impending marriage, and who bursts...more

4.5*
This is a beautiful play that explores our two characters emotions and their views on life. It's hard to describe, but incredibly touching. (Not to mention there are some hella good monologues in here, which was mainly why I first picked it up)

My favorite play. 2 people. One room. Connection. Life.

(3.5 stars.) I had to read this for my directing course as an example text for how to present / pitch our ideas. I liked the spareness of it — I have a soft spot for small, contained plays — but I think the concept of it covered up any character development Rosannah and Henry Harry underwent. I wanted to know more about Rosannah and what her life was like before the play, and I didn’t care as much about Henry Harry’s issues (which sounds terrible, I know, but I’m trying to be honest here.)
Having a manic episode and ending up in remote Alaska in the home of a conservative loner feels more like a nightmare than a romance. I wish these characters had more agency. Play drags in spots.

I read this play about two weeks ago thanks to a friend who recommended it to me, and it is still lingering in my mind, heart, and soul. I think that is how I know I’ve encountered a piece of literature that is different, that is above the rest, that is better than good. I couldn’t get the experience out of my body.

A friend of mine sent this to me via email saying that he had gotten the rights to do it.
I read it while at work and laughed and cried my way through it sitting at my desk.
I immediately asked 'Did you send this because you want me to do it with you? The answer is yes hands down'
We are now in the middle of rehearsals and this will be the most challenging role of my career thus far. Rosannah is a whirlwind...she is a mess and not at all well but in a way there is clarity in what she is experienci...more

This play was so amazing- I read the entire thing in the bathtub with a glass of wine last night. Couldn't put the thing down. Best 45 minutes ever spent contemplating how two individuals obsessed with freedom and autonomy can be in relationship (intimate and romantic) with others.
Loved it.
Loved it.

Kind of the quintessential '2 weird people in an enclosed space' play that was a HUGE THING in the 1980's for some reason (the reason is probably Ronald Reagan and decreased arts funding). Fine but not particularly interesting or groundbreaking.

Deep. Enjoyed it. Would be wonderful and challenging to play Rosannah someday.

A great play. Will be playing Rosannah in the future.

A fantastic play that I really want to be a part of someday. The characters are unique and the writing is top notch.
This is by far one of my favorite plays. It's smart and funny and very moving. Cindy L. Johnson did a great job writing those characters and showing their pain.
