<br>
In a play critics describe as “brilliant” and “imaginative,” a dying woman is visited by a figure called ‘Scarecrow,’ an enigmatic character that might be her alter ego, or a morphine-induced hallucination, or the very thing keeping death at bay. This Irish journey of magical realism, mythology, and transformation features Co-Founders Bernadette Clemens and Derdriu Ring.<br>
<br>
Director Pandora Robertson says <i>Woman and Scarecrow</i> inspires her. "It gets at the humanity and heart of what can make us great: our vitality, grit, and sheer will power to hang on and value life despite its hardships and disappointments. We are able to find gratitude, forgiveness and love for each other and ourselves no matter how ridiculous and tragically flawed we are. Even in the jaws of death, Woman and Scarecrow eek out the poetry and humor from every last bittersweet moment. They never stop trying to get their story right. As Woman says, 'Now that’s what I call a passion for living'.”</span></p>
