Gods of Autumn is a play about how three very different people who never would have met in the course of their normal lives, are thrown together to face their own mortality. But it's really not so much a story of how we die as it is a story about how we live. As one of the characters, Mary, says "Maybe you just have to take your best guess and keep heading west like Columbus -- keep telling the crew something’s out there just over the horizon ... something solid and constant and true, and then hope to God there is. Maybe, that’s what life is all about -- holding on and hoping."
