Review: A family says goodbye
At People's Light and Theatre Company, Bill Cain's How to Write a New Book for the Bible actually presents an even more complicated set of instructions: How to honor thy parents while saying goodbye to them. Cain, a playwright, author, and Jesuit priest, cared for his mother in the last months of her life, keeping a diary he published as a memoir, and then in 2012 adapted into this four-person drama.
