.BessWohl’s Grand Horizons won’t answer all of your existential questions.
Won’t Answer All of Your Existential QuestionsMaridelis Morales Rosado for W Magazinedebut from playwright Bess Wohl, begins with a declaration. After a few moments of futzing around in the kitchen fixing dinner, Nancy, one of the show's octogenarian leads, tells Bill, her husband of 50 years, that she would like a divorce.
Wohl grew up in Brooklyn and went to Yale School of Drama for acting, where she realized she wanted to be a writer. “I have this sort of weird, contrary streak in everything I do,” she laughed. “I try to go for one thing, and I just end up over there, somewhere else. I've never been linear in my entire life.”
“Jane in particular kept telling me during rehearsals that the humor was so vital to her. Because part of her philosophy on aging is that if you don’t laugh, you’re really going to be screwed,” Wohl said. “You either get bitter or you find the humor. She kept saying, 'The humor is not just about creating a funny play, it’s that for people our age humor is a lifeline that is the way we get through the day.
Wohl, who is a mother to three children under the age of seven, said she is fascinated by sibling relationships and brought some of that perspective into creating the characters of Ben and Brian, who frantically react to the news of their parents divorce and move in to their suburban condo.
