A chance meeting on a plane and a dizzy spell at the luggage carousel brings young Rory to Evelyn’s home in the Caribbean to stay for a few days. Evelyn and Rory, despite their generational age difference, find love and acceptance in each other. Rory gradually finds himself at ease and useful in Evelyn’s home and Evelyn is delighted to have a pleasant and helpful young companion. A relationship that seemed odd to them at first (and remains so for Evelyn’s family) leads to questions about whether there are boundaries to true friendship and affection. What, exactly, is the meaning and nature of love? Laura Bird is a retired theater educator, director, and designer. She earned her doctorate in Theatre History from Michigan State University in 1999. Laura was Associate Professor and Director of Theater at Concordia University, and taught at Greenhills School in Ann Arbor. She is currently on the Board of PTD Productions in Ypsilanti, and often works on their shows in one or more of a dozen or so capacities; however, she enjoys directing and scene design the most.
