Grangeville

About the show: Two estranged half-brothers – one in Grangeville, one in Amsterdam – reconnect virtually in discussions surrounding care for their ailing mother. A play about the fallibility of memory, the stories we tell to make sense of our suffering, and the complexity of forgiveness.
