About the Play

Crossing into Lullaby revisits the telling of a true-to-life family story of a mysterious undiagnosable childhood sickness, that binds the living to the dead. In a creative exploration of the space between history and myth, creator Dian Marie Bridge combines voice-work and electronic soundscapes to look into the desperation that can come with knowledge of how closely we live with death, and its impacts on  the bindings of unspoken fears, attempting to lay them all to rest.
