Apples in Winter

Written by Jennifer Fawcett
Directed by Claire Parker
Performed by Edie Campbell, OFFIE finalist Solo Performance 2023

In a prison kitchen a mother is baking an apple pie: her son’s last request. He has been on death row for 22 years. In a few hours the state will execute him. As Miriam shows us how to make the perfect pie, she unforgettably reveals her story and the jagged path to, and from, one act of violence. The play offers a cathartic journey into the heart of barely resolvable questions about justice, forgiveness and love.
