The Caregivers by
14 Mar. 2019
“
Anna, Margaret's Trinidadian caregiver, and Margaret's daughter Frances face off as they try to decide how best to deal with Margaret's slow progress towards death, made all the more painful because Alzheimer's has robbed Margaret of her mind while leaving behind a body that needs 24 hour care. Anna is determined to keep Margaret's body comfortable for as long as possible, while Frances is actively working to end her mother's suffering. Zamoyta's deeply moving drama encourages us to empathize with each character even as we wonder how we would act in a similar situation. ”
