Left on Tenth

by Delia Ephron, Julianna Margulies (Narrator), Peter Gallagher (Narrator)

From acclaimed novelist and screenwriter Delia Ephron (You’ve Got Mail) comes a deeply moving true story about how life’s most profound connections can emerge in our most vulnerable moments.

Starring Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher, Left on Tenth weaves humor and heartbreak into a life-affirming journey through love, loss, and unexpected beginnings.

Still grieving the loss of her husband, Delia reconnects with a man from her past—and suddenly finds herself living inside her own romantic comedy. What begins as an unlikely spark soon blossoms into a love story that defies the odds, even in the face of life’s most difficult challenges.

Left on Tenth is a celebration of resilience, connection, and the truth that it’s never too late to begin again.

Hated this script until I saw a fabulous production done by GablesStage. It really shows how vital a cast can be to a production, since this script was incredibly cheesy at times. While I don't wish to negate the author's experiences, the writing style felt very reminiscent of her sister's. I couldn't really tell if this was supposed to be her own writing piece or an imitation of her sister's film work. Maybe both ideas work in tandem??? I wasn't necessarily a fan. In other news, bravo to this exceptional production I saw; it stole my heart. It was a prime example of bringing light to dim material.
