Well is the sixth and last show of Birmingham Festival Theatre’s “Pursuit of Happiness” Season; a sparkling autobiographical comedy written by Lisa Kron sure to inspire reflection and rouse emotions with gripping perkiness.
“This play is not about my mother and me,” begins Lisa. But, of course, it is about her mother, and her mother’s extraordinary ability to heal a changing neighborhood, despite her inability to heal herself. In this “solo show with people in it,” Kron asks the provocative question: “Do we create our own illness?” The answers she gets are much more complicated than she bargained for as the play spins dangerously out of control into riotously funny and unexpected territory.
Well is directed by David Strikland and stars: Holly Dikeman, Carole Armistead, Francesca Scalici, Tonya Marshall, Robert Burgins, Murrell Wilkinson, and Chalen Law. The production team is composed of Judy Jones (stage manager), Mindy Egan (set designer), Chalo Gurmendi (production manager) and Kevin Van Hyning (graphic design).
