HEALTH LEADERS from academia, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across the country have been invited to take part in a global health discussion on one of the most pressing and pervasive issues of our time: Alzheimer’s Disease. Culminating in a performance of Lil’s 90th, a poignant, funny new play about a family dealing with the patriarch’s mental decline, participants in this year’s Global Health & the Arts program at Long Wharf Theatre will be fully immersed in the scientific as well as the human issues around the disease.
LIL’S 90th by Darci Picoult
In honor of her 90th birthday, Lil is fulfilling a
lifelong dream of doing a solo cabaret show. Her
husband, Charlie, who appears to be suffering from
early-stage senile dementia, is caught in a
telemarketing scam - hoping to surprise Lil with his
winnings he hands over the couple’s life savings to a
fake lottery - and neither Lil nor their daughter can
stop him. The work investigates the struggle for, and
eventual loss of, independence within the family and in
the community and the challenges of caring for aging
parents with poignancy and humor.
