"A friend reaches across to hold my hand at the end of Downed Hearts at Ship’s Company Theatre and we nod and smile at one another, tears in our eyes, because Downed Hearts is a very good play and it has touched us very deeply.


The two-hour drama, premiering at Ship’s through Aug. 27, is a heartrending, uplifting tale of love and loss and survival. It is so compelling and involving it’s hard to break focus at intermission and at the end."
