Alabaster
Description
After a tornado barrels through town leaving nothing but death and destruction only June and her pet goat Weezy live to tell the tale. When a prominent photographer visits to take pictures of June's scars both are forced to reconcile the pain of loss and recovery.This all-female darkly comic southern drama explores the meaning and purpose of art and the struggle of the lost and tortured souls that seek to create it.
Alabasteris about an artist who lost her entire family (and nearly died herself) in an Alabama tornado. Three years since the devastation June has isolated herself along with her goats Wezzy and Bib on what remains of her family farm. June who suffers from agoraphobia and crippling PTSD is covered from head to toe... with scars. She gets up every day and feeds the goats weeds the garden and picks up her paintbrush. Alice a world-renowned photographer has come to take pictures of June for a series on women with scars. But Alice a lesbian photographer from New York is carrying scars of her own and is desperately trying to outrun her own pain. The sexual tension between June and Alice is immediate and ever-present. But what they need from each other transcends the physical. What does it mean to be truly "seen?" How do we pick up the pieces? How do we move forward? A play about women. About art. About healing.
