Ruth, Ruth and Ruth are old. They inhabit the quiet, in-between spaces
of the Island House. Their lives unfold in an endlessly layered puzzle
box of past and present. Mask, drama, song and movement peer into the
surprising revelations of the ancient.

The Secret Ruths of Island House is based on interviews conducted with
seven women named Ruth in the Island House retirement home. Their
stories are diverse and evocative, from nursing in WWII to
all-consuming love. Nebunele Theatre, called "daring and original" by the
Seattle Weekly, descends from Seattle with a poignant and visually
stunning reflection on rarely-told stories.
