Author: Donna EMail: donnaspector@optonline.net ICWP Member?: Yes Nearest Large City: Manhattan Country: U Play Title: BURYING MOTHER Runtime: 91-120 minutes Synopsis: After the death and burial of her dynamic, controlling mother, Emily finds herself haunted by memories and dreams of her family. Emily knows that it is important for her to understand her relationship with her mother and, to a lesser extent, with her sister and father. She needs to make sense of the difficulties in her own life—a recent divorce, constant depression, digestive problems—so she revisits and imagines scenes that help her to untangle her complex, often contradictory, feelings about her family. Male: 1 Female: 4 Max. Cast: 5 Min. Cast: 5 Media: Stage Genre: Comic/Drama Theme: Mother-daughter conflict Web Page: www.donnaspector.net First Name: Donna Last Name: Spector Notes: A fluid movement between past, present and future, between what could and couldn’t happen, as the play takes place in EMILY’s memory and dreams. Because this play moves around in time and is not dedicated to logic in sequence or thought, the actors playing EMILY and BERYL could easily be in their 30’s, and MOTHER and SAM could be played by middle-aged actors. Music and dance is used throughout the play.
