Play Title:Jigsaw
Runtime:91-120 minutes
Synopsis:Sissy has cared for her younger sister Toni, who is in a wheelchair, since their mother left when they were school-age children. Their father died of cancer several years later.
Now, Toni announces she plans to move out on her own and begins dating Mark, a pizza delivery driver. Mark is her first boyfriend, and Sissy questions his motives for wanting a relationship with a handicapped person.
Sissy’s longtime boyfriend Alan wants to marry her, but she resists. He expresses his disapproval of her overprotectiveness of Toni. Rather than be caught in the middle of the two sisters, he decides he will go on an extended trip.
Meanwhile, Sissy seeks solace from a patient named Mrs. Bitters who is undergoing treatment for cancer.
Gail, the girls’ mother, returns after roughly 12 years. Toni wants to bond with her mother who supports her need for independence. Sissy wants her mother to leave because she feels Gail is taking her place as the female role model in her sister’s life. And, she is skeptical as to why her mother comes back after so many years.
By the end of the play, the pieces of Sissy’s life fall into place, though the picture they create isn’t necessarily perfect. The question is: Can Sissy accept it?
