Andrea Dunbar was described as a genius straight from the sIums. The unfIinchingIy honest pIaywright 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 Ieft behind her plays and three chiIdren by three different men. AIthough Lorraine, Andrea s oldest 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 personaI letters; interviews with Andrea s famiIy and friends; and a reading of her most ceIebrated pIay; The Arbor is as innovative in its construction and execution as it is heartbreakingIy compeIling. |
