About This Show

Four actresses. Twenty-seven characters. One strand of pearls.
Written by Michele Lowe and directed by Karen Carpenter.

Michele Lowe’s radiant new play explores the possibilities that arise in the lives of several women as they come into contact with a certain strand of pearls. While the pearls are stolen, bought, bestowed, unstrung and nearly lost, four actresses play 27 characters in this deeply moving drama that is as fresh as it is funny. On the eve of her granddaughter Amy’s wedding, Beth asks to see the pearls she gave Amy’s mother long ago. When Amy cannot produce them Beth is determined to find the pearls. She takes us back to the time when she received them and passed them on to her daughter, who gave them to her dearest friend Ela who lost them one Sunday morning. Spanning 35 years, the pearls touch the lives of mothers and daughters, sisters and friends, even husbands and wives as they weave a deeply affecting story of love and loss.
