Tin Woman is the story, based on a truth, of 5 people- a heart transplant recipient, the heart donor, and the donor's family. The donor, Jack, is understandably very quiet during almost all of the play due to being...well...dead. There are flashbacks of him that serve as poignant reminders of his humanity. Joy, the recipient is in emotional turmoil as happens a lot in this type of surgery; "Why me?" Jack's family, father Hank, mother Alice, and sister Sammy are in pain. The loss of a child is one of the most painful things parents can go through: the grieving process- a torture. This story is the story of their journey of healing, with Jack as silent witness to their torment.
But this is not a ghost story. It is the story of the living. It is the story of love and healing and forgiveness. As the title suggests, both literally and figuratively, the Tin Woman finally finds her heart.
