WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tracing the lives and life-long friendships of three southern women beginning in the Depression era and continuing through the early years of the new century, Lark Eden offers a lyrical exploration of the ties that bind lives together as tightly as family, and as surely as love. From frog catching girls with skinned knees to world wizened grandmothers, Lark Eden follows these three lives through personal trials and victories no less daunting than the historical tribulations which provide the backdrop to these everyday American lives.
What are other members saying?
RE:A lyrical play that strikes an emotional chord.
Never has there been a more shining example of less is more. It may be the simplicity of Natalie Symons play along with the lyrical writing that makes for one of the most touching plays I have ever seen.
In a special presentation at Theater Schmeater, Lark Eden was presented this weekend with minimal production value. The actors stood at music stands on a bare stage; yet the play takes you on a journey that defies the simple staging.
This play should come with a warning: BRING KLEENEX! Natalie Symons? play explodes with raw emotion. It is deeply moving and surprisingly hilarious. It is a play about the ties that bind us tightly together even when distance separates us and life disappoints. In letters told over the course of seven decades we grow to know these women as if they were our own dear friends. This play is one of the most moving experiences I have ever had in the theatre.
