The New Jewish Theatre offers the following event description:
Direct from the Humana New Plays Festival, Laufer’s hit play is an empty-nest story about a husband and wife and the hit love song he wrote for her. When musician Sam first met Rose, he wrote a song for her which became an instant hit. Rose fell in love with Sam, they married and lived off the song's proceeds for the next 25 years. But Sam’s creative stagnation and memories of passionate youth drive him to Facebook to seek a new muse to reawaken the passions of 25 years ago. Laufer asks“when the past is longer than the future and when ardor turns to comfort, how can you find a way to be happy with what you have? Eternity sounds really great in principle, but it might be just interminable.” In Sirens, Laufer dares us to remember our past while finding a way to embrace the future—and to live in the present.
