The road to happiness is marked with jarring potholes and unexpected detours. In this exciting new play, a web of eight Bostonians, most of them in their mid-20s, grapple with life’s basic questions, some of them trivial -- like where to get a good cup of coffee -- and some of them troubling and complex. Who am I really? What is the right thing to do? Is there life after 30?
