Synopsis

Heirloom is a non-­fiction solo performance about four generations of my
extended maternal family that’s based on interviews and historical records.
Beginning with my mother and her siblings, and moving on to her father and
grandfather’s lives, it examines the social and emotional inheritance of an
extended family affected by incest, alcoholism, violence and genocide. It
attempts to shed understanding on how any single person may affect the
generation of family members that follow him or her and to glean a greater
understanding of the dynamics of incest and rape. It also draws a
significant parallel between the chaos and silence surrounding incestuous
families and the U.S. government’s treatment of native people.

>From the Playwright/Performer

“I'm so happy to share Heirloom as a radio play. I was initially a little
scared to bring it to an audience that I wasn't in the same room with given
the kind of truth being shared. But working with sound engineer John Watts
laid my fears to rest as he found ways to create a landscape that I think
brings the proper mood and intention to the piece. I hope you enjoy this
performance and its perspective on a difficult topic.” -- Mike Geither
