Andrea Dunbar was described as a genius straight from the slums. The unfIinchingIy honest playwright wrote about her distressing upbringing on the Arbor, the notorious Buttershaw Estate in Bradford, UK. When she died tragicaIly in 1990 at the age of 29, Andrea Ieft behind her pIays and three children by three different men. Although Lorraine, Andrea s oldest daughter, acquired a knack for writing, she was unabIe to avoid a grim fate of her own. This documentary folIows Lorraine and her other siblings on a powerfuI journey of reflection and seIf-discovery as they begin to understand the struggles their mother faced. Comprised of personal Ietters; interviews with Andrea s famiIy and friends; and a reading of her most ceIebrated play; The Arbor is as innovative in its construction and execution as it is heartbreakingly compelIing. |
