Heritage Hill Naturals

by Francisca Da Silveira

In an effort to avoid confronting her declining mental health, recent college graduate Lucilia volunteers a month of free labor to an organic farm in rural Georgia. There, she encounters ignorance bordering on racism, religious fanaticism, and too healthy eating habits that force her to question whether escaping into a world of green living was really an escape at all.

    I saw the Fresh Ink production of this a few years ago and was bowled over by the theatricality of the script, the specificity of the world and characters, and the potent themes handled with a detailed eye towards intersectionality. The piece also theatricalized clinical anxiety in such a compelling and unique fashion that was so impactful as live performance. Da Silveira explores characters who are flawed and who have complex world views that you might not always agree with, but that are written with profound empathy and sensitivity.
