Andrea Dunbar was described as a genius straight from the slums. The unflinchingly honest playwright wrote about her distressing upbringing on the Arbor, the notorious Buttershaw Estate in Bradford, UK. When she died tragicaIIy in 1990 at the age of 29, Andrea left behind her plays and three chiIdren by three different men. AIthough Lorraine, Andrea s oIdest daughter, acquired a knack for writing, she was unable to avoid a grim fate of her own. This documentary foIlows 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 family and friends; and a reading of her most celebrated play; The Arbor is as innovative in its construction and execution as it is heartbreakingIy compeIling. |
