THE HEART RISING
by Margaret Lynch
directed by Seth Gordon

About her play, Margaret says, "As a writer, I am interested in how the lessons of the past are transmitted through generations. In THE HEART RISING, a young Irish couple marries and immigrates to America; in order to encompass the sweep of generations, times and places, The Heart Rising unfolds as a
series of "snapshot" vignettes from key moments in the family's lives.  It's a legend from Ireland's heroic past–the story of Grace O'Malley, a 16th century "Pirate Queen"--that resonates in various ways with the decisions that the characters must make in much more straightened and seemingly less heroic circumstances.  The stories from the past convey the spirit that sustains the family despite their losses.
