In Australia, a baby is impatient to be born. In New York, there's a home that needs wrecking. Two sisters, across and ocean, talk to each other about their dreams. I feel closest to you is a play about impending disasters, exploding love, and the roles we play in our closest relationships.
This production contains some domestic violence and discussions about miscarriage and abortion.
