Dan Cody’s Yacht takes place in a small Boston suburb, where a single schoolteacher is struggling to get by. When the wealthy father of one of her students surprises her with a financial proposal that could change her daughter’s life, their worlds collide.
Giardina and Hughes collaborated on the 2014 play The City of Conversation. Giardina's other plays include Living at Home, Scenes from La Vie de Boheme, An American Tragedy and The Child. Giardina is also a novelist whose works include Men with Debts, A Boy’s Pretensions and Recent History.
