The Gravitational Pull of Beatrice Trimble
Join us for a night of comedy and real life as it opens before us with the Trimble family. A play by Beth Graham... Directed by Valary Cook
Her children take the news of Bernice's early-onset Alzheimer's with care and concern but Bernice is up for a good laugh.
This play is really a story about Iris Trimble, Bernice’s daughter, who is trying to hold it all together and may very well fly off the face of the earth if she doesn’t hang on to the kitchen counter. At least that’s how she feels after her mother, Bernice, a lively, recently widowed fifty-five-year-old breaks the news that she has early onset Alzheimer’s.
In an effort to cope with the stress, Iris makes her mother’s famous Everything-That-Is-Bad-For-You casserole, a childhood favourite. Her siblings, on the other hand, show very different responses to this news. As for Bernice, she’s still as vivacious as ever, always up for a good laugh, and, most of all, ready to finally put herself first.
