Leading the cast of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓’𝒔 𝑬𝒅𝒈𝒆 will be the highly respected and renowned actors, Catherine Feldmann and Gregory Aitken playing Sarah and Daniel Lawrence.

Sarah Lawrence has dementia. During one of her husband’s visits, she reveals something that will have profound effects on him and their son’s lives. Highly influenced by the Samuel Taylor Coleridge quote, “what comes from the heart goes to the heart”, the production explores the depth of guilt, loss, forgiveness and compassion. It is a play about finding light in dark places and in the power of love to both transcend and restore memories.

The powerhouse ensemble of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓’𝒔 𝑬𝒅𝒈𝒆 includes Yasir Assam and Sierra Freeman with live music performed by Maureen Lill. The evocative lighting, sound and film design is crafted by the talents of Sunita Bailey, Alex Benham and Hielrick Fidele d’Amour.
