"Not Waving", running March 9 - 24, 2001, Thursday through Saturday at 8:00pm, Sunday at 2:00pm
In a mental facility in New York, Gabby Stone, a quiet unassuming, guilt-wracked widow, has come to collect her daughter, Nicole, who has been institutionalized for over a year following a suicide attempt. Trying to gain order in her life, Nicole drags a reluctant Gabby through a whirlwind of adventures that include Karate lessons, demonstrations, lectures, work at a Brooklyn Day Care Center, and finally to kidnapping Isabella, Nicole's cat. While on this roller-coaster ride, Gabby begins to understand the torment her daughter has been suffering and gradually becomes an ally. The end will leave you in tears, but uplifted with a renewed spirit and outlook on life.
|
"focuses on the relationship between a mother and her recently deinstitutionalized adult daughter. At times sharply funny, at other times nervously funny…there is a considerable distance between the retiring personality at the beginning of the play and the empowered being that Gabby becomes at the end." |
