This is Rebecca's life: she wakes up, eats a sensible breakfast, wraps herself in three layers, drives to the train station, commutes to her bookkeeping job in the city, watches the clock, goes home, cooks dinner for her domineering mother, watches TV, and falls asleep grieving for her dead dog. Every day is the same as the next until Rebecca's underachieving brother begs her to take care of her troubled niece-and she does what she always does-she lets it happen. In an unforgivingly bitter month, three generations of women with nothing in common, except a deeply buried ache, try to keep the cold away.
Suzanne Heathcote's I Saw My Neighbor On the Train and Didn't Even Smile is a funny and poignant new play.
I Saw My Neighbor On the Train and I Didn't Even Smile runs from July 15 through August 15, at The Unicorn Theatre in Stockbridge, MA. To purchase tickets, contact the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street, Pittsfield by calling
