Writer and actress Lynn Redgrave comes from a family that practically lives and breathes onstage, so it's only natural to explore the life of her maternal grandmother through a theatrical monologue. Spurred by her recent challenges and tragedies, Redgrave uses the little information she uncovered about her relative to craft a fragmented, partially imagined portrait of an unfulfilled wife and mother at the turn of the 20th century. Throughout, Redgrave draws parallels to her own marriage and experiences, combining a thoughtful reflection on what it means to be alive and a highly personal testimony to the power of storytelling.
