“Vesta” Performed Across Country
This Bryan Harnetiaux play offers a warm and often funny exploration of a family’s struggle with a variety of end-of-life issues as they come to terms with the eventual loss of their matriarch, Vesta. This 90-minute drama has been used by hospices, churches, divinity schools, medical schools, and other organizations all over the nation as an educational tool and as a vehicle for creating public dialogue about end-of-life issues.
Vesta works as a full staged production or a dramatic reading. Audience talk-back sessions after the performance provide opportunities for discussing advance care planning, hospice and caregiving issues.
