Torrance Theatre Company Play-At-Home: The Velocity of Autumn

By ERIC COBLE

Alexandra, an 80-year-old artist is in a showdown with her family over where she’ll spend her remaining years. In Alexandra’s corner are her wit, her passion, and the fact that she’s barricaded herself in her brownstone with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the block. But her children have their own secret weapon: estranged son Chris, who returns after 20 years, becoming the family’s unlikely mediator. A touching discovery of the fragility and and ferocity of life.
