Eric Coble

The grand dame of Cleveland theater, Dorothy Silver returns to Beck Center to portray Lillian, an elderly woman with a wicked sense of humor, in this regional premiere of Coble’s brilliant new script. Despite her children’s attempts to
move her into a retirement home, this aging artist is determined to spend her final years in her Brooklyn brownstone. Her estranged son, Tom, is forced back into her life after years of separation when Lillian threatens to burn down her home. A delicate tale that walks a tightrope between sadness and joy, fear
and hope, and love and frustration. Lillian's story is vivid with brilliant imagery, affectionate humor, and a touching relatthat you won't soon forget. (No performances April 6-8)
