Thomas Edison’s last words were “It’s very beautiful over there”.
In this new piece of writing, the audience is presented with a powerful story of a young adult’s effort to cope with the unexpected death of a close friend.
A one-woman show about understanding death and grief, the importance of telling stories, and the ways in which we live on through the legacy we leave behind in our names and our memories. And how to fold origami swans.
