I remember the first ghost who visited me. I was four years old and there he was. Sitting opposite me on the kitchen table while I was munching on my Rice Krispies. Literally fresh from the grave….
NELSON – the undertaker who can see beyond death
ALPHONSO – the self-destructive brother who can never see beyond himself
MAX – the healer? The hoax? Alphonso’s saviour? Or something far more dangerous?
GLORIA – the mother who cannot move beyond the past
DOMINIQUE – the mysterious teenager. But is she a friend or warning to Nelson?
Using elements of African-Caribbean myth and folklore, THE HEALING mixes kitchen sink drama with magic realism. The result is a unique tale about choice, faith and absolution.
