With this brand new dramatic comedy, two families are found dealing with aging parents in very different ways. In Voices of Swords, Alexis -- a personal organizer whose own life is desperately in need of some outside help -- is hired to assist Olivia Parks, a sweet old woman who's soon scheduled for a heart operation. But Olivia isn't quite the sweet old woman she was initially touted as, and the frenzied fury she feels towards her son for not coming home to take care of her puts Alexis in the midst of an intense familial conflict. While she's meant to be sorting out the problems of others, Alexis' own long-hidden truths begin to bubble to the surface, leading to an explosive revelation. Voices of Swords stars Broadway veteran Loni Ackerman (Evita, Cats), Phillip Christian, Celia Schaeffer, Bob Ari, Gillien Goll and Michael McKenzie in a play that proves change may indeed be inevitable, but that doesn't make it feel any less impossible.
