Notes: | This play was created collaboratively, it was written by Claytie Mason, Beth Hersh, Alissa Mortenson, Brynna Jourden and Joy Brooke Fairfield. "Nebunele's "Moon" shines. . .The characters draw us into their world and keep us there. Although the story deals with family dysfunction and death, its serious subject matter is generously sprinkled with heart and humor, which is often physical and always entertaining."-Steve Clare, The Examiner | |||||
Synopsis: | Cussing at the Moon is the story of three estranged adult sisters who come together after one of them makes a surprising and ill-fated leap from the Aurora Bridge, landing in a coma at Harborview Medical Center. The investigation of these rather eccentric women, the dynamics of their familial relationships, and the patchwork faith that constitute their very individual spirituality takes them from the hospital room to the surreal internal world of a coma patient and back again. This play was created collaboratively, it was written by Claytie Mason, Beth Hersh, Alissa Mortenson, Brynna Jourden and Joy Brooke Fairfield. | |||||
