Event
Courtney Wood in "The Syringa Tree"
One actress. Twenty four characters. Hailing from Maine, young Courtney Wood is bringing her touring production of The Syringa Tree to her alma mater, Falmouth High School.
The Syringa Tree, by Pamela Gien, is a story of an abiding love between two families, one black, one white, and the two children born into their shared household in early 1960s South Africa. Seen first through the eyes of a child, six year old Elizabeth tries to make sense of the chaos, magic and darkness of her experience. The story of these families destinies spans four generations from early apartheid to present day free South Africa. Performed as originally conceived, all 24 characters are portrayed by Miss Wood.
She says, "It is a privilege to share The Syringa Tree with audiences. I love learning about other people and places through my acting and have always found fascinating the process of inhabiting a character. Making a strong bond with the principal character Elizabeth has been especially revealing and satisfying. I hope this work gives the audience greater access to the important history of South Africa and the lessons that can be taken about the struggle for freedom through Elizabeth's experience."
