Talking Bones

She hears voices and always interprets them to have special meaning in her life

BayBay, Ruth's daughter, gaudy and slightly out of step, is looking for a way out of a life trapped taking care of her mother

She often ignores or misinterprets the voices she hears

Eila, BayBay's daughter, is seeking to build a bridge of understanding between the two worlds she experiences with these women

It's a complex journey for all of them, but in the end, the voices of the ancestors are heard whispering - joyous and hopeful

From the author: "I grew up in a house where the elders heard voices and it was understood that these voices were the voices of the ancestors

I didn't think it very odd until I went out into the world and learned that 'people who heard voices were crazy'

I felt like I was in the middle, straddling both of those worlds. So I started writing this play about women who hear voices, how these three women respond to their inner voices and how they respond to the ancestors"
