This peace play illuminates the noise that is inescapable in daily lives and how it affects relationships.
“Do Not Go Gentle” is the story of Lillian Boedecker, a vibrant, funny 84-year-old who is recently deceased. During her lifetime, Lillian shared a special bond with her granddaughter, Kelly, and suffered an estrangement from her son, Windsor. After Lillian’s death, Windsor and Kelly discover the walls of her house have been painted with wild, sometimes humorous, sometimes horrific murals and drawings.
