"When Sibyl Kempson begins her Performance Writing classes at Sarah Lawrence University, she asks her students to dig back into their lives and find the experiences from their childhood that brought them to that class with her on that day. But she only finally discovered her own. When the playwright was growing up in suburban Pequannock, New Jersey, she had a neighbor named Mr. Lonsky."
