Amanda has to figure out her life right now! Her job largely entails dealing with angsty child actors, her ex-boyfriend keeps popping up in her thoughts and on her phone, and when she's hit with something much, much more overwhelming, she first has to deal with all the well-meaning support thrown her way. Are We There Yet? is a lightning-paced, bittersweet comedy about illness and endurance that hits us all where we live.

| "We are all soon seduced by Garth Wingfield's sharp-as-a-scalpel script. A sublimely funny play that crackles, sweeping the audience from the sublimely witty to the tragic. A fluent, well-structured play that also boasts some glorious characterization, demonstrating Mr. Wingfield is at home on the stage. With flare and feeling, this is a play that deserves to travel far." |
