ABOUT THE PLAY: Grace is a burgeoning therapist. Merci dangles for freedom at the bottom of a bourbon glass. College sweethearts and newlyweds, they elope to Philadelphia for a fresh beginning. Stumbling into polarizing landscapes, they struggle in the margins of heart and home. IN THEIR SILENCE appears as part of Philly Fringe & Allens Lane Art Center’s 70th Season opener!
