The Magic Tree


After seeing Ursula's play this past weekend, I thought we might start some conversations. Here's some provocation.

Summary: The story of a love born in a very dark place between a man who wants to belong and a woman who wants to be forgotten. On a stormy night, they shelter in an abandoned summer home on Dublin's coast and tentatively discover what unites and divides them. Written and directed by Ursula Rani Sarma.

In The Magic Tree, Irish-Indian playwright Ursula Rani Sarma evokes a cliff-edge ride along an emotional path with as many twists and turns in it as a mountain road in Cambodia, where the action ends up. At the beginning, we are introduced to the two central characters: Lamb (a young woman, running away from home) and Gordy (a young man, naïve, suggestible, different). It’s a stormy night and Gordy has followed Lamb into a deserted squat. They get talking. (READ THE REST HERE)
