A really exciting opening is taking place at midtown's Tarragon Theatre. The same writer who conceived the masterpieceIncendies, Wajdi Mouawad, has his 2006 piece Forests being produced.
Show Description:
When Aimée learns that she has an unusual brain tumour, she decides to risk her life to have her child, only to die when her daughter Loup is a teenager. Enraged and grief-stricken, Loup reluctantly begins a quest to discover the origin of her mother’s mysterious illness. In a story that spans six generations and two continents, Wajdi Mouawad demonstrates that the bonds of family are not merely biological and cannot be contained: they are borne of love, sacrifice and deep commitment, and endure beyond the death of any single member.
