Snake Talk: Urgent Messages from the Mother

Donated by Karen Pope, Tulsa, OK

Written and performed by Naomi Newman; recorded live in San Francisco. March, 1991. Out of one woman, three characters emerge: an artist, an eastern Erupean Jewish mother, and a street crone. With humor and insight through stories and songs, they tackle contemporary issues of aging and death, planetary survival, jealousy, child abuse, and the theft of women's power and sacred teachings.

This is a high quality film of beautifully crafted stage performance. Highly recommended. (75 minutes)
