James Lecesne's New Play THE MOTHER OF INVENTION Begins Next Month at Abingdon
James Lecesne is an Academy Award winner for Trevor, a Drama Desk Award winner for Word of Mouth, and an Outer Critics Circle Award winner for The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey. His new full-length play, The Mother of Invention, begins January 28th at Abingdon.
When Dottie Nerber's son and daughter arrive to pack up the contents of their mother's Florida home, their conflicting memories of her collide. As the siblings unpack family secrets, they must separate fact from fiction and are forced to question the narratives of their own lives. James Lecesne's new full-length play, The Mother of Invention, is an unflinching and comedic look at how one family deals with the effects of Alzheimer's. It questions why we tell the stories we do about the people we love, and how we live with those stories after they've been debunked.
Lecesne shares his passion for live theatre in the video!
For 23 years, Abingdon has been dedicated to producing new work that boldly reflects the world in which we live. Help them bring this new story to life!
