Eleemosynary, by Lee Blessing
1987
• A young teen——and winner of the National Spelling Bee——tries to make sense of her past, her absent mother, and the bad blood that runs between them as she awaits her eccentric grandmother's death.
Another preparing for death play, and coming to terms with the past so one can face the present and future, this gem of a play unravels the estrangement that runs deep between three generations of mothers and daughters. A relatively happy ending.
