Bone Sorrow: The Elder Tree, Cleave, & A Circle of Stones
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The Elder Tree — This retelling of the witch trials of 1500s Europe follows the harrowing infestation of religious fanaticism in a once harmonious village. Witness the womenfolk resist the onslaught of perverse accusations and embrace their attempts at reclaiming their power.
Cleave — A girl child, intrigued by a shadowed figure that looms outside her window, desperately seeks her place in the outside world. Her mother is an entity of the undead. Having transcended her own death, she gathers herself to nurture her living child. A surrealist poem of myth, a sojourn with a poverty-struck mother and her child through tragedy, unwavering love, and ghosts.
A Circle of Stones — An expression of the playwright’s family strife with profound, generational mental illness. Traverse through a haunting tale of three generations of women desperately seeking nurturance, love, and self-realization against the bondage of mental torment.
