Three sisters face the challenge of coping with their Mother's death. Unable and unwilling to give up hope, Tristen leads her two sisters into a journey of imagination, self-discovery and acceptance. Opening a portal described in their Mother's stories, Tristen, Gaela and Selene lead us through their inner psyche as it is manifested through lessons learned from encounters with a Gnome, A Nelrim and an Echo known as Gandria. Secret drawers pop open unannounced, gnomes come in and out from under the bed— letting loose confusion, riddles, journeys, and blurring boundaries between tale and fact, between memoir and fiction, and ultimately unleashing a truth and acceptance that inspires their own new story.
"Playwright Escobar has the beginnings of a magical and meaningful modern-day fairy tale on her hands.
The show provides a positive message for young girls (and boys) about how to be brave,
strong and honest in the face of life’s most difficult moments.
Escobar manages this without being condescending.
The effect is a little bit dark without losing innocence or hope."
