Delia Ephron on How Grief, Cancer and Late in Life Love Inspired Her Real-Life Broadway Rom-Traum ‘Left on Tenth’
Delia Ephron, who wrote ‘You’ve Got Mail’ with sister Nora Ephron, makes her Broadway playwriting debut with rom-com ‘Left on Tenth.’
It’s also a place on which she and her late sister Nora Ephron — the Oscar-nominated “When Harry Met Sally” scribe who died of cancer in 2012 — have indelibly left their mark through those timeless ’80s and ’90s romantic comedies. Adapted from her 2022 memoir about several late-in-life, axis-tilting events, the story begins as Delia (portrayed by Julianna Margulies) writes a New York Times op-ed about her frustration with Verizon after losing her husband of more than three decades, Jerry, to cancer. She and her sister wrote the 2008 Off Broadway hit “Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” starring Rosie O’Donnell, Tyne Daly and Natasha Lyonne as women who swap stories about relationships and wardrobes.
