New Hampshire Theatre Project’s 2015-16 season continues its celebration of women with Eleemosynary, a play by Lee Blessing that focuses on the lives of three brilliant women. Dorothea, the grandmother, attempts to shed the bonds of a controlling father and husband who refuse to give her a traditional education by striving to learn all she can in non-traditional ways. Middle-aged daughter Artie attempts to flee her eccentric mother’s world by saving lives from the seclusion of a research lab. Trying to live up to her grandmother’s expectations and win her mother’s affection, 16-year-old Echo strives to be a spelling bee champion. All three generations share a deep love of learning, a self-expectation of extraordinariness, and a desire to “fly” in many different ways.
