I can see how the Old Woman will be a telling of all of our tales...and that you are living quite closely with her these days as you grow and develop the story.<br /><br />Look forward to gathering the women at my home for a sharing of your story...email to come about that!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306383788438149959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185440472062871674.post-24569800411957686972012-08-20T17:01:34.617-07:002012-08-20T17:01:34.617-07:00As to the quote from Eloise George about our livin...As to the quote from Eloise George about our living in smaller circles as we age...maybe the concentric circles lead us to what is REALLY important in this life before we transform to the next.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924267602041987751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185440472062871674.post-48562723037025303572012-08-18T07:35:25.295-07:002012-08-18T07:35:25.295-07:00After seeing Gwenda's first play - Friday'...After seeing Gwenda's first play - Friday's Father - which was fabulous, I can't wait to see her perform her new one at NC Stage the begging of November. Gwenda is so gifted. She creates a whole world with her words and draws you into it so you feel like you are sitting right next to her, like a second skin. Her new play - The Old Woman in the Basement - deals with situations we all experience at some point and I just know it will be wonderful. So good to see her up on stage performing again.

I saw an early incarnation of this work last spring and came away with the clear sense of the triumph of the power of the spirit and personality of this old woman, that can increase with age, even as physical losses of power accumulate. Not unlike King Lear, or other Shakespearian characters, the lesson seems to be not to give away your kingdom/power too soon, and certainly not to succumb to the first, second or third sets of losses that accompany age.
