NEW YORK—Is it all right to move on with your life when the burden holding you back happens to be someone you love? This question is asked in William Donnelly’s touching comedic drama “No Wake.”

Edward (Stef Tovar) and Rebecca (Tricia Small) have both moved on since their rather contentious divorce. She’s now married to Roger (Tim Ransom), a rather reserved English gentleman she met on a cruise ship; Edward has gone through a number of relationships.
