The Velocity of Autumn

The Velocity of Autumn, Eric Coble’s sixtieth play, is the story of a painter with a wicked sense of humor, who is determined to spend her final years in the Brooklyn brownstone she calls home, despite her children’s best efforts to get her to move into an “A-One nursing home.” With the pressure mounting she lays down one final ultimatum: let her be, or she’ll blow the place sky-high. Her story is vivid with brilliant imagery, big laughs, and an unforgettable and touching relationship.
