        Mulberry Bush, The



Mulberry Bush, The

Synopsis:
There is no set other than the landscape of the heart. Ten women, each unaware of the others, range in age from 18 to 86, in lifestyles from hip, chic, studious, and sophisticated to deeply religious-a secretary, a student, a housewife, a real estate broker, a grand lady in her declining years, and a nun. In a series of monologues delivered as single instruments that occasionally make an accidental chord, they reveal their hopes, their disappointments, their loves, what holds them back, what keeps them going.
