Island

Trestle Theatre Company

Island creates moments in the life of this woman – an imaginary life that is full of perverse fate, missed opportunity and abandonment. Moments which would have been her memories as she was stranded on her island.This production is a comedy about a tragedy, told using masks, music and a large traffic island! It is a gentle and poetic look at the isolation prevalent in people’s lives at the start of the 21st Century. Wild fantasy and grim reality merge to find some meaning in the final moments in the life of Mildred Faith Evans.
