Set on January 15, 2020, the day that New York adoptees gained the right to obtain their original birth certificate, Betwixt & Between is about the liminal space between knowing and unknowing, aka The Gap’ (no, not that one).
When Lucy trips into ‘The Gap’ she is confronted by her thirteen-year old fantasy self, Eloise, and the Caseworker assigned to help them both. When Eloise pushes too far, Lucy must grapple with who she is, who she was, and who she might have been.
WHAT IS THIS THING?
The online premiere for my new play that embodies the experience and complexities of the ghost kingdom. This is a professionally directed reading featuring four actors across two continents and three time zones. The play is part of the featured content at the @AdoptionKnowledgeAffiliates 2021 virtual conference.
Three of those involved in the production are adopted and each has written about their adoption experience. Playwright maggiegallant is the writer and performer of Hot Dogs at the Eiffel Tower. Director Suzanne Bachner is the creator of award-winning play The Good Adoptee. And British actor and playwright Karen Bartholomew is the writer and producer of Giving Up Marty. Rounding out the cast are Austin actor Genevieve Schroeder-Arce, and narrator Bob Brader.
