Marvin's Room at BARN THEATRE

Sisters Bessie and Lee, estranged since their father’s stroke nearly 20 years ago, are brought together under unexpected circumstances. Bessie, who has been caring for her ailing father Marvin and Aunt Ruth, learns that now she too is sick and turns to her sister for help, bringing to surface long-buried resentment and overwhelming love. This critically acclaimed award-winning play goes on a transcendent journey and, what appears to be a serious drama about dying, quickly becomes a very funny comedy about living.
