Invisible Foe

by Michele Miller

Jaime doesn't understand why Mom is crazed to get rid of the moths in Dad's closet. It's not as if he needs those clothes now, and doesn't Mom have more important things to deal with, like the house deed and the will? But it soon becomes apparent that moths are not the only foe that Mom is fighting. Available in a zoom and a 'socially distant' live format.

    A touching and sensitive play that hits on our concerns about the pandemic and the toll it takes, while at the same time inspiring hope. A play that shows what theatre can really do.

    This 2-hander illuminates the busywork that can underlie grief -- and in this case the peculiarities of Covid grief. When your world crumbles beneath you, what do you do to fight back? Designed for (and set on) Zoom, INVISIBLE FOE leads to a moving, socially-isolated moment between a mother and her adult daughter.
