The Cairn Stones: A Play in Two Acts

Anne V. McGravie

4.9/5 (13547 ratings)

Description:Cast: 2m/5w. The Cairn Stones is about love & longing, regrets for the past & some hope for the future; it's about age & how it limits only those who'd be limited by it. "In her strong but always lyrically written memory play [McGravie]...hints at the way the seeds of one's character & passions are planted in youth & tend to grow stronger in one's later years. Based loosely on events in her own life...[she] has created a play in which the youthful & aging incarnations of three characters continually shadow each other. The teenage Brighid is a rebellious, relatively well-to-do girl, passionately attached to her wild island culture. Her neighbor, Shelagh, is poorer & restless in another way--hell-bent on leaving for America. Shelagh loves Brighid's half-brother, Michael, but he cannot find it in himself to leave the island. So when she decides to make the trans-Atlantic journey she enlists his best friend, Joe, who Brighid happens to love." (Chicago Sun-Times) Fifty years later, now a widow, Shelagh returns. She's never forgotten (or forgiven?) Michael. The play is infused with a sense of deja vu knowledge of how the past is viewed when it begins to retreat fast, moving further & further from reach.
