"I Never Promised You a Rose Garden"

Description

Directed by Miners Alley founder & Award Winning Director Rick Bernstein. Adapted from the seminal novel, "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden", the story chronicles the journey of Debra, a mentally ill patient, and Dr. Fried, Debra's therapist for three years, as they forge new therapeutic frontiers searching for the answer to the voices in Debra's head. The play was workshopped and premiered at Miners Alley Playhouse in 2004. "...The dramatic arc is a compelling mix of personal, familial, and professional themes that represent the events in a way the 1977 film does not. Newton's coup de grace, a multilayered denouement in which the fortunes of Debra and Dr. Fried reverse, in an especially imaginatively piece of writing" Bob Bows - Variety Magazine
