Full-length comedy/drama, infused with magic realism
Cast size: 1 man, 2 women
Set: Bare stage with set pieces as required
An 88 year-old woman comes back from the dead to settle some unresolved issues with her grandson, but along the way, examines her own history of child abuse and her role in the intergenerational pathology of incest. Part sex comedy, part Greek tragedy, NANNA uses black comedy to examine the intimate turmoil of intergenerational incest, and to find a potential happy escape from the cyclical prison of abuse.
