SUMMARY:
When moving: what are the things that you take with you and what do you leave behind? Empty Boxes looks at Kevin and Sarah; a couple that has decided to part ways after a long relationship because Sarah's career is taking her to New York and Kevin's remains in Toronto. We find the couple in the midst of packing up the apartment and dividing the pieces of their past life together. Throughout the play, Kevin and Sarah's memories take the audience through their first meeting, moving in and the struggles two young professionals face while trying to balance their relationship and careers. Empty Boxes is a look at two people just trying to figure things out with some sarcasm and laughs along the way.
