3 generations, 4 women, 2 urns

Friday August 22 and Saturday August 23 at 7:00pm

Playing in the Bond-Trimble Theatre

In DAUGHTERING, three generations of daughters navigate living, dying and the dead when they are called home to appease unruly spirits. Their understanding of daughterly duty, ideals, and constraints is expressed through their generational perspectives, which range across the early 20th to the early 21st century. Over three days and nights, four women, aged 16 to 70-something, navigate relationship and the business of the old house that contains them, alive in its own way with memory and an impressive population of mice. The play culminates in DIY ceremony and catharsis – as tender, fierce and complicated as daughtering itself.
