Follow the trail… if you dare.

BREADCRUMBS, the haunting, lyrical play by award-winning playwright Jennifer Haley, comes to Tjarnarbíó for a limited engagement.

A poetic story about the relationship between two complicated women: Alida is a reclusive fiction writer who has been diagnosed with dementia. She begrudgingly must depend upon Beth, a troubled young caregiver who offers to help Alida complete her autobiography. In a fierce battle of wills, together they delve into the dark woods of Alida's past, unearthing a tragedy that shatters their notions of language, loneliness, and the essential self.
