This is a heartbreaking play chronicling Zelda Fitzgerald's last day alive, based on her writings and journals, Zelda suffered from mental problems and perished in a fire at the hospital F. Scott somewhat left deserted her at. She takes us time traveling back to her childhood, relives when she met her husband, longs to be closer to their only child and looks back on her arguments with Scott, several of which involved his possible infatuation with Ernest Hemingway. A wonderful and devastating look into the life of a somewhat underrated historical figure.
