Stay, a haunting and beautiful new play by playwright Lucy Thurber (Where We’re Born) and directed by Jackson Gay (The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow), is the story of a young writer who, in the darkest moments of her youth, found an angel who gave her the words to survive. Having gone on to success as a writer, she must now learn to share this beautiful gift with others, all the while struggling to define and accept herself without the crutch of her muse and savior.
