Lynchpin Productions Present: Apples in Winter

Imagine someone you love did something unspeakable. This is a play about the mother of a monster and the tenacious nature of love and how to make a really good apple pie. Miriam's son committed a horrendous crime. It was violent. Caught, tried and convicted, he has been sitting on death row for 22 years. In seven hours the state will execute him. As is the tradition, he is granted a last meal. His request: his mother's apple pie. This one-woman play is the story of a mother surviving, torn between her love for her son and the dark reality of his actions, grappling to make sense of her life. To witness Apples in Winter is to journey deep into the heart of barely resolvable questions about justice, forgiveness and what it is to try to love unconditionally. It is to hear one of the voices of the silent victims of violence. Duration: 75 minutes.
