Helium – Charleston Stage
| A Warm and Moving Comedy About Losing Your Mind and Finding Your Heart Helium is the moving and uplifting story of Mrs. Kingsley, a brilliant, humorous and beloved former chemistry teacher who braves the trials of frailty and aging, all the while keeping her imagination, charm and dignity intact. No longer bound by space and time, Mrs. Kingsley’s mind has begun to wander. With the help of colorful bunches of helium-filled balloons, she takes flight and visits the seashore of her youth, her old high-school classroom and even drops in on an old episode of Star Trek. Back in the present, Mrs. Kingsley’s daughter Alice struggles to keep her headstrong mother’s feet firmly on the ground and her aging mind solidly anchored in reality. It is a losing battle. As sparks fly between mother and daughter, Mrs. Kingsley’s grandsons watch in wonder and amazement as their mischievous grandmother’s wit and imagination continue to charm even as her mind slips into amazing and often humorous flights of fancy.“This is my favorite play of all I have written,” says Charleston Stage Founder Julian Wiles, “and I’m excited it will return for our 40th Season.” 2017-18 Season Tickets Now On Sale!
