World Premiere: “Lay My Burden Down” Free Play (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Strange Angels Theatre presents the world premiere of “Lay My Burden Down” at the San Francisco International Arts Festival

Lay My Burden Down is a serious play with silly puppets about an interracial lesbian couple navigating the burdens of privilege, trauma, and racism—and the transformations that become possible with aging, dying, and loving. Two women meet at a deathbed, decades after the explosive end of their relationship. The dying woman—mother, savior, murderer—is both puppet (literally) and puppet master, having brought her biological and spiritual daughters together again. But as the former lovers fight old battles and relive past passions (with the help of sock puppets), it becomes clear that the reunion won’t go as planned.
