Internationally known playwright/director Nagle Jackson returns to Hedgerow Theatre for his new comedy inspired by a friend's shock over being burglarized, in which a prosperous couple explores whether there's really anything to their relationship — or themselves — without their possessions. "We see people facing this after hurricanes and fires, but then there is at least a rational explanation," muses Jackson, whose Kafka in the Hedgerows was a hit last year. "I wanted to set up a sort of social experiment to see what happens when there is no rational explanation."
