In the Garden of Live Flowers by Lynne Conner and Attilio Favorini takes its title from a chapter in Lewis Carroll’s book Through the Looking Glass, and, similarly, operates as a fable or fantasia. During the research and writing of her world-changing Silent Spring, Rachel Carson is diagnosed with breast cancer. As she struggles to complete the book, she simultaneously fights both her own advancing cancer and various factions of American enterprise, including the chemical industry, who launch a wholesale attack on her personal and professional reputation. Carson's ally in this two-pronged battle is Alice in Wonderland, her girlhood literary hero, alter-ego and now, as death draws near, mentor and guide.
This play about Rachel Carson, to be presented during Earth Day week, has been directed by Frank Farrell and features Fleece as Rachel Carson and also features from all over the U.S. and in various roles Greg Artzner, Kevin Blair, Alexa Elmy, Johnny Garcia, Elizabeth Kelly, Jennifer Kim, Terry Leonino and Richard Width.
