When 28-year-old Marny finds a lump in her breast, she uses it as an excuse to pretend she isn’t flunking out of adulthood and moves home to Long Island to live with her mother. As she vies with her family for the audience’s attention, Marny must either succumb to the whims of a family in crisis or take back her life—and her play.
Things I Left On Long Island has been developed with a grant from the Queens Arts Council as well as developmental readings at Dixon Place and Theater for the New City.
