SINCERELY HELD BELIEFS
by Bambi Everson
SINCERELY HELD BELIEFS, set in present-day New York City, takes the audience on a journey that is as heart-wrenching as it is chilling.
The action centers around three friends – Mandy, Marsha, and Hilary – each grappling with the tragic loss of Hilary’s young daughter in their own way. As they navigate the murky waters of grief, the play delves into the complexities of friendship, the human psyche, and the boundaries of reality.
Marsha, a zealous clairvoyant, believes she can communicate with the deceased child, a claim that tests the trio’s friendship and their understanding of reality. The play keeps you on the edge of your seat, blurring the lines between the natural and the supernatural, the rational and the irrational. Much like the 1960 film, “The Innocents,” SINCERELY HELD BELIEFS can be interpreted as either a ghost story or a psychological drama, leaving the truth tantalizingly out of reach.
This is a personal play for me, born out of personal experience (I was the friend in the middle). My hope with SINCERELY HELD BELIEFS is to examine the line between sincerely held beliefs and mental illness, and reflect on how we treat people who have different views from our own. It’s available in paperback at The Drama Book Shop and on Amazon.
It is also available for licensing directly from the author. Send us an email if you’d like to do a production.
