Synopsis: | Bridge Over Land is made up of three short plays: In Dark Land a son tends to his father who, embarrassed by his own grief over the death of his wife, steps away from the other mourners. In Tableland, a young man contends with his mother who is becoming unhinged-but not without her own brand of grace and humor. And in Number Land, a math professor finds himself at the door of one of his former students. As this unlikely pair negotiate this humorous and awkward visit, deeper issues of loss and mourning are revealed. In the end, some deeper feelings surface, putting into question the possibilities between two people who have found an emotional bridge across a distance of years. Though not related by character, the three one-acts are meant to give the feeling of a cohesive whole; themes from one play are picked up and expanded upon in the next. Issues of loss, longing and hope are woven through the lives of the various characters, to the point where they almost connect, but finally don't. Overall, the three works are about bridges between people and across time | |||||
