An Act of Ruth

Author(s):
Kimberley  Orton

Written as a series of delicate and precise living snapshots, this play explores the painful, fragmented existence of a young woman and her aging mother as they learn to cope with Alzheimer's disease. Simple vignettes elegantly evoke the sting of loss keenly felt when the long honoured pillars of memory, history and identity begin to crumble.
