Diagnosed with terminal "Acquired Toilet Disease," a first grade teacher from Baltimore embarks on a madcap trip through France, Germany, Holland and Austria with her beloved brother. She aims to taste all of life’s sensual pleasures; he wants her to undergo a whacky alternative medical cure in Austria. Writing this Obie Award winning play, Paula Vogel employs all her brilliant creative tools---comedy, drama, music, her love of movies, art and literature---to come to terms with a profound personal tragedy.
