a beautifully realized tale of loss, healing and humor
Grievous loss, self-pity and yearning are the starting points in Daniel MacIvor's soul-searching play, Marion Bridge. Three troubled sisters return home to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to care for their dying mother and find they have everything and nothing in common.
The women discover what they have in common and what sets them apart. Each sister has her own niche in the family; there's the failed actress with a troubled past, the responsible sister who has become a nun, and the recluse who stayed in their small-town home. While their relationships are hashed out, the audience gets a better look at the family as a whole.
Reunited by the imminent demise of their ailing mother, the three sisters are forced to view one another as no longer adolescents but grown women.
In playwright McIvor’s sure and steady writing, the women are revealed through both comedic and dramatic touches ; the script is literate, charming and very, very funny.
