Eleemosynary

Sensitive and probing,this masterful play examines the subtle and often perilous relationship between three remarkable women: the grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-willed eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie, who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie’s daughter, Echo, a child of exceptional intellect – and sensitivity – whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea.
