Lark Eden is a stirring new play chronicling the friendship of three Southern women over seventy-five years. Natalie Symons takes us on an epic journey of love and loss, permeated by the fierce endurance of old friendship. A play told in letters, Lark Eden is at once a deeply moving and darkly comic look at the fingerprints that we unknowingly leave on the hearts of those we love. Thelma, Mary and Emily have been friends since their childhood in the 1930's. Thelma is a prudent Christian woman who yearns to be a good mother; Mary is wise-mouthed and spirited yet quietly wounded; and Emily is desperately searching for something to believe in. From their teenage tribulations to their aged reminiscence, the women of Lark Eden will stay with you for a long time to come.
