Solo Shows: Toast Her and Empty Fullness: A Meditation on Death & Life

ACT I: Toast Her written and performed by Hayley Cartee

Synopsis: A one-woman clown show about mental health created and performed by UNC Professional Actor Training Program alum Hayley Cartee.

ACT II: Empty Fullness: Meditations on Death & Life written and performed by Adam Versényi

Synopsis: In April 2024, PlayMakers resident dramaturg Adam Versényi and his sister, Andrea, take their 94-year-old mother, Dinny, to Switzerland for a medically assisted death. As he reflects on his memories of his mother, on their journey to Switzerland, and on his relationship with loss, this piece also acts as Versényi's exploration of life and death. Unable to exist without each other, life gives death "a full emptiness and an empty fullness."
