About the Book
A Pulitzer Prize-winning play that powerfully explores the realities of living with physical disabilities.Book Synopsis
A Pulitzer Prize-winning play that powerfully explores the realities of living with physical disabilities.Review Quotes
"Cost of Living is perfection. It reawakens my belief in the poetry of theater and highlights its purpose as the critical eye on our human existence... Ms. Majok brilliantly infuses her characters and dialogue with biting humor."
"An honest, original work that invites audiences to examine diverse perceptions of privilege and human connection through two pairs of mismatched individuals: a former trucker and his recently paralyzed ex-wife, and an arrogant young man with cerebral palsy and his new caregiver."
"By toppling old prejudices, Majok forces us to revisit our easy assumptions about people who really don't want to be called "differently abled" and caregivers who could use a little love themselves."
"The characters, dialogue and situations resonate with emotional truth about loneliness, financial desperation and the vulnerability of disabled people forced to rely on others to assist them with basic human needs."
