Backburners Drama Circle

Back burners Drama Circle presents - Tuesdays With Morrie.

Tuesdays with Morrie is the story of Mitch Albom, a journalist, driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schartz, his former college professor.

After 16 years, Mitch is united with Morrie and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and last class in the meaning of life.

Based on a true story, it was the subject of a film, starring Jack Lemmon as Morrie. In fact it was Morrie's last film before he died. This play gives us an insight into Lou Gehrig's Disease, which is very similar to Motor Neurone Disease, and tells us how Morrie deals with this.
