Walking In Space

All happy families are alike; each unhappy family

is unhappy in its own way — Leo Tolstoy

In deference to Mr. Tolstoy – sometimes they’re both.

Theatre West presents the world premiere of Walking in Space. In 1972, in Baltimore, Maryland, there was no Betty Ford Clinic.

When the prescription drug-addicted, single mother of an upper-middle class Jewish family finally hits rock-bottom, it falls on her children to take control.

Inspired by true events, this fictionalized, autobiographical dramedy by multiple award-winning playwright Garry Michael Kluger is an affectionate portrait of four siblings who arm themselves with fierce tenacity, good humor, and their love for one another to save their mother — and themselves.
