THE LITTLE FLOWER OF EAST ORANGEby Stephen Adly Guirgis Directed by David Fofi WEST COAST PREMIERE presented by Elephant Theatre Company

DESCRIPTION: The Little Flower of East Orange begins as Therese Marie arrives in theemergency room of a small hospital in the Bronx. The nurses and doctors assumeshe is just another faceless charity case; abandoned, elderly and unable to even tell them her name. But Therese Marie's dementia is not all that it seems and when her prodigal son Danny returns to New York, Therese Marie must fight to maintain her dignity as he imposes upon her the ugly secrets of their past. In thisinter-generational ghost story, Guirgis gives us a searing portrait of a mother and son who must face a long family legacy of abuse in order to find the truemeaning of grace.
