WHEN THE POWER OF SPEECH OFFSETS THE FRAILTY OF THE HUMAN BODY…

“‘The neuroma is a benign tumour that manifests on the sheath surrounding the eighth cranial nerve connecting the ear to the brain. Over time, the untreated tumour eventually constricts the brain and leads to the individual’s death…”

This catastrophic diagnosis lands like a bombshell on a man, paralyzing him and reigniting old memories. With every waking moments feeling increasingly like small bits of eternities, he is finally persuaded to climb his own sand dune…From Sudbury to Rhode Island, from his childhood swing to his private writing world, this autobiographical play helps us find poetry at the end of a merciless battle — where you wouldn’t expect it. A true, remarkable story of survival.

An autobiographical piece. A story of survival.
