The Lake Shore Limited
by Sue Miller
Three years after the death of her brother Gus, Leslie still thinks about what might have been if Gus hadn't got on that plane on September 11th. As she and her husband sit down to watch THE LAKE SHORE LIMITED, a disquietingly autobiographical play written by Gus's former girlfriend Billy, she can't help but wonder if Billy too has been unable to let go of his memory. But does she really know Billy? Meanwhile, Sam, Leslie's friend, finds in the play inescapable echoes of his life and begins to fall for Billy's distinctive, enigmatic beauty.

Work Description
The Lake Shore Limited is a play about the terrorist bombing of that train and about a man waiting to hear the fate of his estranged wife who is traveling on it. How Billy comes to write the play out of her own painful conflicts and ambivalence, how it is then created anew by the actors and the director, how the performance itself touches and changes the other characters' lives.
