**New York, NY** – Delia Ephron’s poignant memoir, *Left On Tenth*, takes the stage at the James Earl Jones Theatre, offering a deeply personal yet universally relatable exploration of grief, resilience, and finding joy amidst sorrow.

Starring Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher, the play deftly navigates the complexities of love, loss, and the unexpected ways we find light in the darkest times. Margulies delivers a nuanced performance, capturing the character’s journey of rediscovering joy after profound sorrow. Gallagher portrays a man facing his own vulnerabilities with charm and grounding, creating a magnetic chemistry with Margulies.

Supporting actors Peter Francis James and Kate MacCluggage provide much-needed levity, balancing the introspective theme with humor. The minimalist set design by Beowulf Boritt, illuminated by Ken Billington and Itohan Edoloyi, subtly shifts with the emotional cadence of each scene. Projection Design by Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew further immerses the audience in Ephron’s personal journey.

*Left On Tenth* feels intimate, almost like watching someone’s therapy unfold, but without the weightiness one might expect. While the production leans on sentimentality more than profound insight, it succeeds in bringing Ephron’s voice to life with heart and humor, making it a surprisingly uplifting and engaging theatrical experience.

*Left On Tenth* continues its run at the James Earl Jones Theatre (138 West 48th Street) until February 2, 2025.
