How to Write a Novel (or Not)
Greyhound Indigo Productions • Semi-professional company
About the show
Greyhound Indigo Productions presents this solo new writing piece in which a woman of a certain age is forced to trace the unruly manuscript of her life after a hijacking shatters the ordinary. Fear, fury and faith collide as old choices sting yet refuse burial. Her fierce devotion to animals becomes refuge and rebellion — a way of loving without condition. Like a ghost walk through the Eternal City's layered past, memory flickers as she confronts truths avoided about survival, reinvention and resilience. Running for 40 minutes at the Haldane Theatre.
Why see this show?
A solo show that moves through grief, animals and reinvention with an assured literary voice. The image of gathering fragments to begin again is quietly powerful, and the Eternal City setting gives the piece an atmospheric depth that lingers.
