If You’re Lucky
Full-length one-act, 100 minutes / 2016
Lucy, the matriarch of a close-knit family, has arrived at 85 with a developed, unspecified dementia. Her three daughters Theresa, Rose, Mary, and Mary’s daughter and husband are charged with the responsibility of caring for her while she fades away from them. Intertwined in moments from the past and present, the piece engages with sexuality, mental health, infidelity, and grief.
