In this play, with the quirky title \u201cThe Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble\u201d, there are no murderers wielding weapons, no characters rushing in and out through multiple doors, and no one bursting into song every other line. There may be those of you reading this who say-\u201cThank goodness!\u201d Not a velvet cape or feather boa in sight! The play is set in present day-it could take place in your own mother\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>\n
In this play you will hopefully come face to face with yourself as you relate to one of the adult siblings, or perhaps to their mother. If we have done our job well, you will feel right at home with an occasional family outburst. You may fit comfortably somewhere in the sibling birth order scenario. You will have ample opportunity to enjoy quick wit and gentle humor- and the characters will have to pause while you laugh after many of the lines.<\/p>\n
In this play you will be transported from the present to the past and back again. Iris, Bernice\u2019s middle child, tell us, \u201cSometimes, the only way out is to go in. Can\u2019t make things up. Can\u2019t wish. Can\u2019t hope. One must tell it like it is. That\u2019s what I\u2019ll do.\u201d Iris is your guide. The play challenges Iris, her sister Sarah and her brother Peter to accept each other\u2019s differences and to honor the wishes of loved ones. There will be times when you will be feeling a tug at your heart strings. There will be moments of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. You will experience the celebration of a mother\u2019s love for her children, and her children\u2019s love for her. This play will take you to where all of us could be one day, and it will do so with love and grace.<\/p>\n
