The True History of Graceland Cemetery
The Graceland Cemetery has become a bit of a secondary character in the world of “Borrowed Lives.” Elise first encounters the graveyard in Episode 2 when she reconnects with Liberty. Riding in a Streetcar as Jacob Burrows, the driver finds the road blocked by a wagon load of coffins. The driver informs Elise that the gravers are moving the City Cemetery. The City Cemetery was, in fact, moved from what is now Lincoln Park because of health concerns, since the cemetery was located near the city’s water supply. And to accommodate park development, of course. Where the cemetery once resided is the modern-day Lincoln Park. Graceland became the fashionable choice for prominent Chicagoans, perhaps because visionary landscape architects, including O.C. Simonds, designed the cemetery. Simonds was a founding member of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Although he was educated […]

Drawn to the Conspiracy Narrative in Borrowed Lives
Actor Jack Harvison, who plays Mr. Chandler and the Stage Manager in Episode One of Borrowed Lives, is excited to be part of this audio drama. He’s always been drawn to mysteries, and Borrowed Lives has an excellent conspiracy narrative. He also loves period pieces and history in general, so he’s thrilled by all the historical spaces the characters get to explore throughout the episodes. Jack is an emerging actor out of southwest Washington who met Borrowed Lives' Creator, David Bareford, while working on David's original play Live in 3, 2, 1 at Love Street Playhouse.

Art Created at the Intersection of History and Theatre
For Playwright David Bareford, the creation of Borrowed Lives (BL) began with the image of a person gasping awake in someone else’s body. Like all the ideas that evolve into his plays, the ideas that formed BL didn’t arrive fully formed, they were developed as part of a process. That process included collaboration and brainstorming with many talented artists he’s worked with over his 35 years in the theatre. David lives in the world of historical times and stories, which leads to the intersection between history and theatre, where his plays are created. And the ideas never stop coming. David writes because he’s compelled to get them down on paper. Although he’s written a handful of historical plays, this is his first time writing an audio drama. The thing that excites him about the format is that it can be […]
