"Phantoms... do not come unbidden into our lives; we invite them, over and over." The New York Times
Every day, Gail and the regular members of her early morning group set up for their meeting in the exact same way: Nicole makes the coffee, Gail arranges the chairs, and Ron complains.
As they forge a path toward sobriety and wellbeing, they come to rely on the routine and each other.
But when Gail’s estranged granddaughter reopens old wounds, Gail knows it will take more than coffee, chairs, and companionship to keep her life from falling apart.
Don't miss Before the Meeting, an extraordinary drama about ordinary lives from acclaimed US playwright, Adam Bock.
