“Matchbook�… “Ottawa�… “German doctor�… These are the baffling last words of David, a young man dying of AIDS. David’s dysfunctional family gathers at his bedside, trying to unravel the mystery of his life even as it slips away.

This production represents the New Jersey premiere of the play, which won two Dora Mavor Moore Awards for outstanding achievements in Toronto theatre.
