Mother Nature encroaches in Eating Blackberries. As she rages, so do the Ashcrofts. The story follows Elizabeth, a recent divorcee, and her teenage son, Jackson. The play begins during a heat wave that has led to an early fire season and a bumper crop of wild blackberries in the Ashcrofts’ backyard. The blackberries, Elizabeth says, are Mother Nature’s way of saying she’s sorry for all she puts people through, “little gems among the briars.” When Elizabeth’s ex, Paul, and his new young pregnant wife, Sofía, pay a surprise visit, civil discourse turns into a gritty fight, leaving Elizabeth and Paul alone. Four months later, earthquakes threaten as relationships heave, break and realign in surprising ways, giving Elizabeth and an unexpected character the strength to move on.
