Z Space: Off the Page – Come Softly to Me by David Gilbert

Written by David Gilbert
Directed by Delia MacDougall
at Z Below

At a country home in the Berkshires, three sisters and their extended families come together, as they do every summer, to participate in a macabre ritual. “It came from a dream I had of this strange ceremony to honor their dead sister.” says author David Gilbert. Gilbert was struck by, “the sweetness of these sad girls and how their only true power over death was the power of repetition and remembrance.” Past, present and future meet in a generational story of love, loss and the power of the creative imagination to heal. Published in The New Yorker Oct 10, 2022.”
