The Weight of My Heart
By Lee Gundersheimer
The Weight If My Heart is a love story woven through the many ages of time- from the very ancient origins of theatre itself to London at the turn of the 20th Century to a modern day tour site newly reborn in the Egyptian desert. It is the real life tale of Dorothy Eady, who mysteriously became the expert of an ancient Temple site in Abydos, with no formal training- unearthing sections that had been forgotten and missing for centuries because she remembered them since, she claimed, this was once her home. The Weight Of My Heart is an unforgettable drama of discovering who we are meant to be by recognizing who we always have been.

Beatle Girls

Now Freda and her girlfriends – all decades older – go back in time and tell the inside story of what life was like as the British Invasion began and the phenomena that was “The Fab Four” emerged from post-war Liverpool.
