Dandelions

An original play about the abduction of Grace Budd by serial killer, Albert Fish. This is a comprehensive recording of the play which was adapted from newspaper headlines and articles, a letter from Fish to Grace Budd's mother, as well as some original writing to tie the piece together thematically.

This work is meant to shine a light not on the perpetrator, but onto the very real horror that many families face when their children are taken. The faces on the scenery are the faces of some of those real children that you would've seen on the side of milk cartons. They were taken. Some were never recovered. Those stories are important to tell.
