Marvelous Fruit

Synopsis:
Fran, quickly approaching 80, wakes up to her own life. With the help of "the interweb," she finds a warehouse party and an underground sensation called a "miracle berry," miraculous fruit that promises to make Tabasco sauce taste like donut glaze and pickles taste like watermelon. The berries spark a thousand tiny changes in the lives of Fran and her paranoid, shut-in husband Jerry. But how do we know when change is worth the price? A play about aging, friendship and the power of the mind, Marvelous Fruit asks if sourness can ever taste sweet.
