An original play written and performed by Vivian Nesbitt about her visit to Ireland to learn about her legendary great-great grandmother in hopes of understanding her legacy. The journey bends time and place to reveal Nesbitt's own identity through a series of transformational events, some hilarious, some touching, some profound.

The play explores our search for deeper connection to place, family and ultimately ourselves, while celebrating the tenacity of a young woman's spirit to overcome her misconceptions and obstacles. Themes of duality, perception and creative expression fill the play with poignant moments of surrender and discovery, juxtaposed to the comedy of human nature.
