TAKING LEAVE by Nagle Jackson
Eliot Pryne was once a highly regarded professor of English Literature. His specialty? Shakespeares King Lear. As the curtain rises on this story, Eliot is packing what he thinks is a suitcase and leaving what he thinks is a hotel.
In the early stages of Alzheimers disease, he is taking leave of the real world and imagining a new one, but the transition is painful. His three daughters Alma, Liz and Cordelia struggle to know what his next steps will be and how they can help.
A heartwarming story, filled with unexpected but compassionate humor, this rich dramatic comedy is about living and dying, and the strangely comedic value of both.
TAKING LEAVE features a multiracial cast that includes Kerry Bringman, Mykahla George, Pamela Roza Hayes, Cara Hazzard, Jasmine Jaqua and W. Scott Pinkston.
March 22 - April 7, 2024. Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:00pm
There is also a performance on Thursday March 28 at 7:30pm
There is no performance on Easter Sunday March 31.
