This play by local playwright Dana Bagshaw draws from the writings of two women from 15th century England: the highly regarded mystic Julian of Norwich and her younger contemporary Margery Kempe -- a more controversial figure, both then and now.
In the play, Julian, who lives in a cell attached to a church in Norwich, welcomes a troubled Margery for several consultations. And Margery gets her husband John to take a vow of celibacy, so that she can become a pilgrim.
Ali Eppy plays Julian of Norwich, Shannon Hemphill is Margery, and Rick Kuhn takes the role of her long-suffering husband. Matt Matthews directs.
“One woman rooted . . . and one wandering . . . beautiful and inspired†says Peter Oswald, who selected Cell Talk as winner of a UK playwriting competition held while he was resident playwright at the Globe Theatre.
Indoor/Outdoor performance with live music from the period. Suggested donations listed above given at the door.
