The Story
Marlene always answers...
but this time she didn't.
Marlene was Mickey's Trinidadian nanny and the woman who raised him. She always answers his calls. But on her seventieth birthday, she doesn't. What begins as concern becomes a funny, intimate, and increasingly urgent three-day search to reach her, and to understand the relationship he has spent his life trying to put into words.
“Calling Marlene is the kind of deeply personal story that becomes universal through its specificity — funny, moving, and full of the emotional truth that makes live storytelling matter."
Natalie Gavilanes
Manager of Public Programs, Performance
