4 at 40: Mothers’ Letters to Their Daughters
a play written and performed by Daniela Ryan
The women of Adelaide Farms have always written letters to their
daughters. Even after the farms are sold their bitter acquisition
continues to exert force on generations down the line.
Friday and Saturday at 8:00 pm
March 13,14, 20 & 21, 2009
Tickets $10
“4 at 40: Mothers’ Letters to Their Daughters” will run for four
performances only at Working Stage in Hollywood. Produced by Ryan,
“4 at 40” is an intimate portrait of one southern California family – from
the first wagon train settler in the 1800s to a modern wannabe mother –
as told through letters passed down from generation to generation.
The play was commissioned by Dezart One Gallery in Palm Springs, a
leading art and upcoming cultural center in the desert, and was
performed in the open gallery space as a solo performance. Jack Lyons
of the Desert Post Weekly calls the play “thoughtful and compelling” and
Ryan’s performance “a tour de force”.
