Touchstone Theatre: The Syringa Tree

With very good reason, many of you will see The Syringa Tree simply to witness Colleen Madden playing all 24 of the play’s characters. And, needless to say, you will not be let down: after all, this very combination of script, actor, and director has created near-legendary results in the past, at Milwaukee’s Renaissance Theaterworks. The Syringa Tree takes place against the backdrop of apartheid-era South Africa. It deals in the shame that so often comes with knowledge, the corruption that can belie beauty, and the innocence rarely maintained as we grow up.
