Marvin’s Room (Marvini tütred)
Family drama
Marvin’s Room is a tragicomic drama of family ties and the struggle of life. Bessie is a tenacious woman who has cared for his bedridden father and eccentric aunt Ruth for years. When Bessie herself is diagnosed with leukemia, she has to turn to her sister Lee to request a bone marrow transplant.
The sisters have lived for decades without missing each other. At first, their reunion is uncomfortable. Besides her stubborn sister Lee, Bessie also has to play host to Lee’s undisciplined sons. Now they have to set their whole lives and family ties straight.
Sometimes life is so overwhelmingly fast that there is no time to mope around. American playwright Scott McPherson’s play offers a psychologically masterful insight into the woes and hopes of people in their struggle for life.
Première on 9 December 2020 at the Small Building of the Vanemuine Theatre
