AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'At the funeral of the scandalous Daise Morrow, Daise herself wanders amongst the mourners, hovering between memory and rumour. Over the fence two young dreamers take their first tentative steps into love.

'In Brink’s richly theatrical and immersive adaptation, The Aspirations of Daise Morrow is storytelling filled with music and light; a poignant evocation of the wonders of small beginnings, the complications of compassion and the grace and majesty of love.' (Production summary)
