Taking Leave

A Dramatic Comedy by Nagle Jackson
Directed by Angela Henry

“Engrossing, vivid… assured,
and strong in theatrical values”
VARIETY

In the middle of the night, Eliot Pryne, aging professor of Shakespeare, is packing what he thinks is a suitcase to leave what he thinks is a hotel, all the while struggling with his three daughters and the fading light of his mind. Heartwarming and compassionate, this rich dramatic comedy is about living and dying, and the strangely comedic value of both.
