Description from the Author
Chasing Rainbows is a love story. It’s funny, hilarious actually, and yet ultimately it is a story about the journey into dementia, and ultimately death. Finally, it asks the question: How does one go after the loss of a loved one?

We start off in the walled city of Lucca, Italy, where Bob and Donald fall in love with pretty much everything Italian — everything, that is, expect the damned language, which for over two decades Bob has butchered, while Donald seems to have sailed through. Ironic that Act Two, which takes place in Portland, Oregon, marks the beginning of his having primary progressive aphasia, and his descent into dementia, and ultimately death. Bob is left to find a reason for living, a good purpose to carry on, while honoring Donald. “By play’s end, you will have come to know, and love, this sweet husband of mine,” Donald says.
