BACKGROUND: Walter Cronkite became the anchor of the CBS Evening News on April 16, 1962, a position he held until he retired on March 6, 1981. He said, “In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.” That is how he became “the most trusted man in America.”

THE STORY: It’s 2010 and a fierce thunderstorm has shut down airports up and down the East Coast. Two women, who appear to have nothing in common, are stuck at Reagan National Airport. Patty is a chatty southerner—a blue-collar woman —who is almost physically unable to tolerate silence. Margaret is a Washingtonian, reserved, educated, and not interested in sharing her thoughts, or her table in the bar, with Patty. Forced together for a long night in a public place, the two strangers have no choice but to share a bottle of wine and begin to talk…and to listen. Their conversation is difficult, funny, deeply revealing and astonishingly frank. Patty and Margaret share details of their lives that lead them to a place of kinship neither of them could have imagined. This is a story about emotion and empathy. Walter Cronkite is dead, but his wisdom and compassion live on in this insightful, two-woman comedy.

Directed by John Brandl
