The Heath

Award-winning playwright Lauren Gunderson traces the life and lineage of her WWII veteran grandfather, who battled dementia, alongside the myth of King Lear, who grew old, went mad, and wandered out onto the heath. Performed by the playwright with a banjo, this moving original work is part play, part personal essay, part banjo musical. The Heath grapples with mortality, madness and regret while celebrating life, memory, music and the power of a good story. One weekend-only workshop production.
