Synopsis: This play is about a rose gardener named JOHNNY who has
been tragically discarded by the only man she ever loved. As she
searches for healing and renewal, it is her love of nature which she
rediscovers in the beauty of the desert, in her beloved animals, and
finally through the earth’s blessing of rain that gives her the strength
to allow the inescapable and painful changes in her life to take their
course. The set should be very minimal, the more that can be
communicated through lights and sound the better. The location on stage
shifts between a desert in Arizona, where JOHNNY and WILL lived for the
first part of their marriage, a rose garden and home in Nashville,
Tennessee, where they have lived since, and a small town in Arkansas,
where JOHNNY was raised and where her mother still lives. Time is the
present.
