Cost of Living is the story of four very different people, in four very different circumstances, each trying to get by. Eddie, an unemployed truck driver, reunites with his ex-wife Ani after she suffers a devastating accident. John, a brilliant and witty doctoral student, hires over-worked Jess, a caregiver.  As their lives intersect, Majok’s play delves into the chasm between abundance and need and explores the space where bodies–abled and disabled– meet each other. Obie Award winner Jo Bonney directs.

Cost of Living is presented in association with Williamstown Theatre Festival
