“My mother always said to Live Big. Live as much as I could.’’
A theatrical triptych of three generations of women displayed simultaneously. For each, the chaos of what has come before brings with it a painful legacy.
Anatomy of Suicide is a delicately woven tapestry examining mental illness and inherited suicide. Birch’s raw and fearless approach serves as an important theatrical document on understanding the complexities of a silent illness.
