Someone Close To You concerns Helen – a fiercely independent spirit – reaching the end of her life; and her son, Ben – who sees risk everywhere.  Ben must confront his aging mother about bringing her home, essentially, to die. Ironically, it is he who learns more about life than he bargained for. 

Stephen R. Rourke, through a special arrangement with the Baltimore Playwrights Festival, presents a special staged reading of Melissa Borgerding's deeply moving drama, Someone Close To You, directed by James A. Goins.
