The Doppler Effect Productions presents "Heartwood" by Laura Burke.
"Heartwood" is a self-revelatory theatre play written by Laura Burke, drama-therapist, playwright, actress, poet, mental health service user and advocate.
This autobiographical play illustrates a young woman's struggles with mental illness. It explores how she begins to heal from its impact through the discovery that giving back to others is exactly how she will recover, and reinstate meaning in her life. In the end, she comes to realize that the arts are not only the way that she can survive her own suffering, but a way in which she can begin to break down the walls between herself and her community.
The play is conversational, dramatic, and filled with a quirky humour, inviting the audience to experience one person's path towards recovery and beyond.
