Background:

Playwright Damien Atkins has a surprisingly simple way of choosing his topics. He writes about things that terrify him. That was part of the inspiration for his latest work . [...] "The most vital human relationship is that between mother and daughter," muses the writer, who's also a skilled performer. "It's sacred, a source of strength and love. In Lucy, I want to put that idea to the test, to see how strong it is, whether it can be broken." [...] "Being uncomfortable isn't a bad thing in the theatre," says Atkins. "It's a sign that a show is raising important, provocative questions. "It's a show that examines alienation, how we alienate ourselves from others, but it's not meant to make viewers feel alienated at the end. "Instead, the play suggests that we can still connect with others. We just have to be careful about how."
