Days End
by Brett C. Leonard
presented by LAByrinth Theater Company (New York, NY)

‘Unfolding in New York City over more than two decades, Days End examines a fractured family as they move through years of anger, addictions, disappointments, laughter, and undeniable love. As the play opens, we meet estranged spouses, Bobby and Jessie Padilla, having just made love on the morning after the funeral of one of their sons. Told in reverse chronology - culminating on the night when Bobby and Jessie first met - this bold new play reveals a family broken by both circumstances and choices, but always bound by enduring, complicated love, each searching for redemption and each other, simultaneously concluding with heartbreak and triumphant hope.’
