The History Room affords audiences an extraordinary experience on the multiple points of view of a family dealing with Alzheimers. The result is harrowing, funny, and profoundly moving all at once. The theatricality of the play - magical realism partnered with farce - allows us to experience our own conflicted feelings in a surprising and original way, and the depths of truth-telling by each of the characters are both disturbing and liberating. The performances at Creede Repertory Theatre had audiences up on their feet every night.
