Toronto, ON – Theatre Passe Muraille (TPM) will be producing R-E-B-E-C-C-A, by Sara Farb, a personal piece based on Farb’s younger sister who was born seven weeks prematurely and diagnosed as developmentally delayed at a very young age. Written and performed by Sara Farb, directed by Richard Greenblatt, R-E-B-E-C-C-A will be in the TPM Backspace from February 5th to March 1st, 2015.
We meet two Rebeccas, one real and one imagined (both performed by Farb) as they prepare to celebrate their respective 18th birthdays.
Although existing in parallel universes, these two Rebeccas manage to find a connection, uniting in an unexpected and powerful way.
“Beyond what R-E-B-E-C-C-A represents as far as my personal musings about what my sister might have been like if she weren’t developmentally delayed, this play, at its core, is about the fragility of our individual fates: how something on a microscopic level can define a person’s entire existence,” said playwright/performer Sara Farb.
