Granny Teri Granny Teri is about to go on. It is a state between life and death. As in halfsleep, between dreaming and being awake; her spirit is half-way. Her daughter Paula, who is in her sixties, but still youngish, looks after her. She has been changing her mother’s nappies, washing her down and serving her for two years. At times surprisingly wise and heart- wrenching ideas pop out of Granny Teri’s mind, which is generally clouded. Is she putting them together now or are they coded deep down in her after they have sunk into her mind throughout the long years, and now they burst forth in her half-clear moments? As it the fragments of a philosopher’s dream appeared before the audience. Then it’s silence, moments of introspection, temporary insanity, loss of reason, hallucination, and slow death.
