A New Theatre Presentation

Whirligig presents a Rehearsed Reading of

SUSAN

by

Ann Russell

At The New Theatre on 30th March 2022 at 7pm.

 

Susan is angry; placed in a nursing home, she feels trapped, abandoned, powerless and ignored. She has a memory, elusive but persistent. Is it real or not? How can she be sure and what does she do with the rage it generates?
