Abraham's Zobell's Home Movie, Final Reel - Len Jenkin
Abraham Zobell is a man like other men. No better, not much worse. But, unlike other men, he has a vital need to lay flowers on an ocean grave before it’s too late. Though he’s recovering from a recent heart attack, Abe rejects the pleas of his wife and the advice of his doctors, rips out his IV, and sets out on a pilgrimage to the sea. Along the way, he encounters ghosts and memories, music and moonlight, pilgrim strangers, and even stranger friends.
“Len Jenkin not only has a vivid imagination, but he also has an artist’s command of his craft.”
New York Times
“Len Jenkin has an unusual talent for reaching into shadowy places in the human psyche and coming up with evocative images.”
Journal American (Seattle)
“Jenkin’s plays have plenty of plot and delicious language, but the transience of experience is the main theme that runs through Jenkin’s work. He manipulates theatrical illusions with a playful manner that recalls Jorge Luis Borges, to disguise meditations on mortality.”
