Wearing nothing but an apron and an oxygen tank, Ulysses unexpectedly finds his wife Emma knocking on his trailer door as he’s making his dog dollar-store sausage on the stove. It’s been 20 years since their marriage was torn apart by an event that Ulysses can’t remember and Emma can’t forget. In the spirit of some of the greatest American dramas, Annapurna is built upon the hopefulness of reconciliation and the simplest of setups – two people alone in a room. Passionate, funny, fierce.

“For anyone who has ever loved and lost, or attempted to reconcile with a loved one or member of the family, this play speaks loud and clear in both its humor and pathos,” notes director David M. Jenkins. “That’s a very hard line to walk and this play handles it with an unbelievable deft touch. Not to mention, this is truly an incredible showpiece for two actors, and Paul and Angela will, I guarantee, light that stage on fire. I cannot wait to share this with Tampa Bay, it’s easily one of the best plays I’ve read in years and I am honored that Jobsite is the first in the area to produce it.”
