"Between Memories" is a two-act play written in the spring of 2019, as a senior project, by ECU Alumni Kesley Williams. The play takes place in a small town somewhere in Oklahoma. Although their reasons are different, Ruth and her youngest sister Eliza find comfort in knowing that their mother, un-liked by most of the town folk, has passed away. Viewing pictures from the past during “family night” at the funeral home, the two girls are reminded of the horrific lifestyles both of their parents chose for them. Eliza is confused as to why Ruth can be so forgiving, and Ruth starts to see a side of Eliza that is much like their own mother. Even Marty, the funeral home director, has words with Eliza and questions her ability to love. Once the girls leave the funeral home, Eliza’s vindictive, yet humorous side is escalated when a childhood neighbor crosses her in the local bar. By the end of the play, both girls have an understanding of how some of their childhood memories have made them who they are today.
