Andrew Mayer
Disease and caring for the
medically and socially afflicted
in our families sets the conflict
for the Mad Duck Repertory
Fheatre's upcoming production
of Man-in's Hoorn, written b\
S« ott Mi Pherson.
"The play is about family and
community coming together
and healing." said director
D.ivul Wlntersteen
Bessie, the play s i etitral
character, has had her family
break up at the same lime she is
diagnosed with leukemia
Internal and external conflicts
make it diffii tilt for her to ret •
ognize her life and her fami
ly. which she at one time
noticed as familiar but which is
now made up of alienating
forces trying to take over her
life.
1'his tension should serve the
play well, ns it releases itself in
i nthartii . comical moments

of the movie with Deborah
