Produktinformationen "We're So Lucky to Live Here"
Grief, the transformative power of art, the meaning of family, and housing affordability are the subjects of this story about a young theater director returning to her childhood home after her mother’s unexpected death. Gwen Rivlin, 27, wants to keep the big, shabby house with a turret in which she and her mother both grew up, but everyone tells her it’s crazy: too expensive and too suburban for her. Her schemes to stay in the house keep running up against single-family zoning laws and the disapproval of the neighbors. To help the town wrestle with the way it’s changing, and to assuage her grief, Gwen stages a production of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard—a play about a family struggling to hold onto its own real estate—in the turret house, casting friends, coworkers from the local coffee shop, and various community members, including her estranged-best-friend’s mother. Through the creation of this beautiful and transitory work of art, Gwen heals old breaches, reevaluates her relationship with her difficult mother, and weaves a new, non-traditional family for herself.
