The Bark & The Tree is an original solo play written and performed by actor/writer Vivian Nesbitt. As a 'modern American woman' Nesbitt struggled to understand the choices her great-great grandmother, the poet known as 'Eva of the Nation,' made during the Great Hunger of 1848 in Ireland. A child of turmoil herself, Nesbitt traveled to Ireland to learn about her mysterious ancestor's ability to stay strong in times of trouble. Careening through a series of events, some funny, some touching, some profound, Nesbitt portrays seven characters that bend time and place to reveal a deep connection that ultimately leads her to a transformation.
