 Mourning Pictures         Terry Project, The         Years

Mourning Pictures

Synopsis:
An episodic play with songs that traces the relationship between a 27-year-old daughter and her 50-year-old mother when the mother is dying of cancer. Other characters are the father, a younger sister, her boyfriend, and several doctors who can be played by one actor. A singer sings songs which form a counterpoint to the action. ".. - it is a stunning first play about the exploration of what a daughter and a mother say to each other and to themselves when the mother is dying - - - it gives us a deep sounding of one woman's development as a daughter, a woman and a writer." - Susan Braudy, Ms. Magazine. "Miss Moore is a very good writer, and there is scarcely a word too many in her text. She has pruned it and left room within it for silences that put me in mind of passages in Eliot's Four Quartets." - Brendan Gill, The New Yorker.

Terry Project, The

Synopsis:
Adaptation of the writings (journals, prose, poetry) of a young woman who has been diagnosed as schizophrenic. The piece renders her life and world using her writings which the authors have arranged as a play. Unlike other stories of mental illness in that it is written from the "ill" person's point of view and does not primarily concern the therapeutic experience. Utilizes abstract sound and some music but is not a musical.

Years

Synopsis:
The chronicle of a friendship between two young women, best friends in high school -one an aspiring conductor, the other an aspiring poet - who commit themselves, meeting four or five times during the decade of their twenties, both to a new kind of committed female friendship and to their work: the story told in scenes, letters, flashbacks, journal entries.
