TURTLE PLAY
(The Play About the Turtle)
by Samantha Marchant
Shortly after her husband’s premature passing, Cedar finds herself with two new tenants in her home. Her husband would have eased the transition of Dawn, her mother-in-law, but now that task is up to her. Then there’s Reed, whose baggage is mostly metaphorical, except for the turtle, Ambrose. The three must learn how to cohabitate while Cedar prepares to bring yet another member into the household, an adopted baby.
