ABOUT THE PLAY
What if your child saw what you couldn't?
Based on real events, Mystic Conversations is a powerful new play about a mother's journey to understand her son's extraordinary gifts – and the unseen world around them.
The play explores family tension between the physical and spiritual world as a mother grapples with a child’s psychic abilities and her own unresolved grief over a miscarriage. As they struggle to embrace the unknown, the mystical and the ordinary collide in a journey of self-discovery and reconciliation.
