an imaginative
and captivating
ONE-WOMAN SHOW
I believed every word that Meridith said. The confusion and love she felt towards her father touched me deeply, while her need to keep up appearances made me laugh out loud. Perhaps most importantly, the questions asked in the piece inspired me to quietly explore my own personal family history during the show. It is an extremely strong piece of theatre that should have the opportunity to be seen by a wide audience.
What happens when a culture of shame leads to a mysterious death and the revealing of a secret life?
BEHIND THE SPOTLIGHT
Unveiling Secrets:
Family, Trauma, and Truth.
Nothing Further examines the relationship between a daughter and father, a Vietnam veteran who lived with PTSD, and how it affected their family, the community, and subsequent generations. Based on a true story, Grundei’s one-woman multimedia performance explores secrets, family history, generational trauma, gender identity, and the need to keep up appearances.
“Nothing Further came from the police report that was filed after the investigation of my father’s death had been completed,” says Grundei. “The last two words on the report read, ‘Nothing further.’ As audiences will discover, however, there is much more to explore and investigate in this piece.”
