Zan is a troubled young man who has been assigned community service rather than jail time after injuring a classmate. He is required to assist ailing librarian Dorothy. Despite the many differences between them, including age and background, the pair form an affecting bond in this short but bittersweet play. If you are a crier, be prepared for a lot of tears as this show will both touch your heart and break it. Those dealing with grief themselves may want to skip it as the show delves heavily into issues of loss, among other themes. Otherwise, it is definitely worth seeing and a reminder of how deeply we can affect and be affected by others, no matter how different we may seem. 

And that's our view. For more about Dorothy's Dictionary or to purchase tickets to the remaining performance, visit womenintheater.org/dorothy
