Fall 2011 – A Little Piece of Heaven
by Matthew Carlin
Directed by Simon Wellman
Have you ever lost anything that meant a great deal to you? Something that if you could ever find it again would make a huge difference in your life? If you have, then “A Little Piece of Heaven” is the shop for you.
The owners of this curiosity shop, where people find things they’ve lost, are known only as Elizabeth and Henry – there’s something unusual about these two, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is.
One day into “A Little Piece of Heaven” comes Michael, a biker, who is definitely looking for something. Michael goes to work for Henry and Elizabeth and meets Lily, an 87 year-old woman who has been coming around to the shop for years searching for something.
Lily is a strong-minded woman who does not hesitate to say what she’s thinking and she and Michael seem to disagree about everything. Soon, however, their relationship grows from suspicion to trust to everlasting respect.
Funny and poignant, A Little Piece of Heaven might just be what you’re looking for.
