Marilyn C. Fall, who heads a Virginia agency called Elder Care at Home,
Inc., and The Caregivers, helped put Virginia Stage Company in touch with
interviewees in preparation for the modern application of King Lear.
In her view, the production could spark the kind of frank family
discussions that may avert end-of-life crises. "When parents are
healthy, it's a subject that nobody wants to address," she says.
"When the crisis occurs, the dynamics of family, healthy or unhealthy,
come to the fore." By broaching the topic in advance, she says,
the production "is doing a great service to the community." (1)
