The Shadow Box is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
Three terminal cancer patients dwell in separate cottages on a hospital's grounds.
The three are attended and visited by family and close friends: Agnes and her mother Felicity, estranged further by the latter's dementia; Brian and Beverly, whose marital complications are exacerbated by Brian's new lover, Mark; and Joe and Maggie, unready for the strain of Joe's impending death and its effect on their teenage son.
On Broadway in 1977, The Shadow Box received 5 Tony Awards including Best Play.
In 1980 it was presented as a TV movie directed by Paul Newman. It starred Joanne Woodward, Christopher Plummer, and Valerie Harper.
