By William H. McCann, Jr.
Directed by Sommer Schoch
Harrisson forgets names, misplaces stuff, behaves oddly. “We’re just getting older”, his wife Eleanor, explains to their concerned son and his fiancée. “It’s nothing”, adds Harrisson.
But it’s not “nothing.” Harrisson Morriss has Alzheimer’s disease, and Boats Against the Current shows how a modern family struggles to deal with this life-changing situation, with gentle humor, quiet fear, and an optimistic yet realistic outlook. The play takes place in the mind, memory and reality of Harrisson—if Harrisson doesn’t experience it, it isn’t seen—as the Morriss family offers loving support and encouragement through a wedding, a midnight game of flashlight tag, and the celebration of events both large and small, traditional and personal.
