In the play, Julia, a successful television journalist, discovers a Manhattan apartment owned by her attorney husband, Jack, that she was unaware existed. As Julia explores the apartment, she’s interrupted by the sudden appearance of Katie, a beautiful young woman who seems to know Jack a little too well.
As they face off in the apartment, secrets unfold, revealing the burdens each has been carrying. Pied à Terre, or “a second home,” is about grieving, loss, and survivor’s guilt, where the passions of the soul come into conflict with the obligations of the mind and the needs of the heart. This is not your usual love triangle.
