About

Cost of Living deftly challenges the typical perceptions of those living with disabilities and delves deep into the ways class, race, nationality, and wealth can create gulfs between people, even as they long for the ability to connect. Eddie, an unemployed truck driver, and his estranged ex-wife, Ani, find themselves unexpectedly reunited after a terrible accident leaves her quadriplegic. John, a brilliant PhD student with cerebral palsy, hires Jess, a first-generation recent graduate who has fallen on desperate times, as his new aide.

Reviews

"Cost of Living is perfection. It reawakens my belief in the poetry of theater and highlights its purpose as the critical eye on our human existence... Ms. Majok brilliantly infuses her characters and dialogue with biting humor."
New York Theatre Guide
"By toppling old prejudices, Majok forces us to revisit our easy assumptions about people who really don't want to be called 'differently abled' and caregivers who could use a little love themselves."
Variety
"The characters, dialogue and situations resonate with emotional truth about loneliness, financial desperation and the vulnerability of disabled people forced to rely on others to assist them with basic human needs."
Hollywood Reporter
