Synopsis
Worth a Thousand Words is the story of a newly
widowed mother struggling to connect with her autistic daughter. Shortly
after her husband's death, she learns that he has won an art competition.
She solicits her daughter's help, since her daughter shared his passion for
art. As the play unfolds we discover that her autistic daughter uses art as
a means of communication and that is the only way in which her mother can
learn to connect with her. At the end of the play, it is discovered that the
winning painting belongs to her daughter and not her late husband.
The Setting
The present, afternoon into
evening. Melinda’s living room, New York City
