Description Lana Schwarcz, the writer and solo live performer of Grandpa Sol and Lily's Grandma Rosie has created a fascinating, endearing, funny, performance about the experiences of people in a Home for the Aged. Using a script that had been created from recordings of live testimony of residents at the Emmy Monash Home for the Aged. The experiment involved Lana speaking/performing the words verbatim as they were played into her ears via an Ipod. Lana took on accents and personalities for all the people she played and used life-sized puppets to represent them.
