with Tim McReynolds, piano & Ayn Balija, viola

A long-lost memoir, discovered in a garden shed, brought to life: featuring star of HBO’s Six Feet Under Lauren Ambrose as Eileen Robbins, Gordon-Stewart’s own grandmother. In this two-woman show, Ambrose interprets scenes from Eileen’s life, from early childhood when she sang for the troops in WWI, through her experiences both trying and uplifting in a small English village, to her offer of a role in London’s West End and beyond. Gordon-Stewart performs a selection of music that underscores this stunning story of courage, betrayal, and survival that spans the 20th Century.
A sweeping yet intimate account about the small joys, the big things we conceal, and the dreams we pass on to our children.
