I am inviting our audience on a rollercoaster ride every person experiences when encounters a deep meaningful relationship. Two people together — in a family bond or a passion of love will determine if the ride turns exhilarating or mortifying\u2026<\/p>\n

Sarah Ruhl has a unique contemporary voice. She calls simple things to our attention but uses irony and humor to zoom-in on often tragic consequences a choice can bring. The world of her play is enormous and fantastical, one minute it is ordinary and seemingly real, then turns larger-then-life and hallucinatory. It is a parable, a modern and sharp discourse with the audience, a probe into moral and ethical responsibility we carry for those we love.<\/p>\n

I believe cognition, memory, and ability to evoke a certain feeling from the past is what makes us human. Our extraordinary emotional storage from which things can be pulled up on a memory \u201cscreen\u201d or stored away in an \u201carchive\u201d becomes fragile with time. We all face our memories: beautiful and horrifying, erotic and repulsive, comforting and curious\u2026<\/p>\n
