Caroline Aaron (The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) stars as
Rachel in the West Coast premiere
of The Best Medicine,
a laugh-out-loud, open-hearted comedy about marriage, resilience and
unexpected joy. A
free
spirit
who
has
long
prized
her
independence,
Rachel has finally
found
a
relationship
worthy
of
commitment.
Then the
universe
decides
to
test
her.
That “in sickness and in health” vow becomes a distant
memory when Rachel’s husband is diagnosed with Parkinson’s,
thrusting her suddenly into the job she’s least suited for:
self-sacrificing caregiver. A
stand-up
comedy
class
becomes
her
salvation
and
a
portal
to
a
transformative
truth
about
life
and
connection.
More
than
a
romantic
comedy,
The
Best Medicine
is
a
hilarious,
poignant
and
unexpected
exploration
of
love,
purpose
and
meaning.
