Hannah Free

Adapted from one of Claudia Allen’s award-winning plays, Hannah Free tells the story of a decades-long love affair between Hannah — an adventurous, butch lesbian with gruff charm — and Rachel, a pristine, married homemaker with a religious upbringing. Set in a present day nursing home, Hannah is forbidden from seeing the now-comatose Rachel, due to her not being “family.” When a mysteriously kind student promises to help Hannah gain access to Rachel’s room, Hannah is forced to reconcile her own desires with those of Rachel’s family and, oddly enough, Rachel.
