Lora Lee Ecobelli
1 man, 1 woman
18 minutes

When a carefully tended garden turns into a jungle of weeds, Pilar sees possibility while her husband Allen sees disaster. What begins as an argument over yard work blossoms into a lively, funny, and deeply human conversation about control, freedom, memory, and love after forty years of marriage.

Background for directors and performers: Decades earlier, Pilar was a cabaret singer in postwar France, and Allen a young American musician who fell deeply in love with her. Their life together in the United States was built on devotion, compromise, and long‑established routines. When the balance finally shifts, their garden becomes the setting for an overdue reckoning and a chance to rediscover one another.

An elderly woman joyfully dances on stage with a man watching her, set against a backdrop of a garde.
