Synopsis
In Ancestral Voices, the world is rendered through the eyes of Eddie, a boy growing up in Buffalo in the 1940s. When his grandmother divorces his stoic grandfather to remarry her long-ago paramour, the family’s equilibrium fractures. Told in fragments, memory, and voice, the play charts the ripple effects of that rupture – across war, social change, and the relentless passage of time. With minimal staging and actors reading from scripts, Ancestral Voices becomes less a plot-driven drama than a delicate mosaic of family, history, and loss.
Brian played the role of Eddie at some point during its run of March 1999 – April 2000.
