Andrea Dunbar was described as a genius straight from the slums. The unflinchingIy honest playwright wrote about her distressing upbringing on the Arbor, the notorious Buttershaw Estate in Bradford, UK. When she died tragicalIy in 1990 at the age of 29, Andrea left behind her plays and three chiIdren by three different men. Although Lorraine, Andrea s oIdest daughter, acquired a knack for writing, she was unabIe to avoid a grim fate of her own. This documentary follows Lorraine and her other sibIings on a powerfuI journey of refIection 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 heartbreakingly compeIling. |
