Compound Fractures at BU's Boston Playwrights' Theatre

Advertising executive, Paige Azzurro, lives her entire life without rocking the boat. An overachiever in the boardroom, she is married to her career instead of her ex-boyfriend who broke up with her for not having enough time for their relationship. Paige is surrounded by her overbearing zany family, including her cousin Frankie, a new stay-at-home mom who wished she was still working as an investment banker instead of changing diapers; her brother Luke, a salesman by day and musician by night; and her mother Fina, who gives her too much unwanted advice as well as a panic attack or two.

Approaching her 40th birthday she is looking for a big change and that’s just what she is about to get. One fateful day after leaving a top secret meeting with the president of a competitive ad agency in New York City, Paige slips off the curb while hailing a cab and fractures more than her leg.
