A moving story of a family in grief where we are praying for a reconciliation and joining despite the pain and anger. Well done.

The world of this play feels so familiar to me -- which makes each of these characters in equal parts frustrating and lovely. The space between Jane and Abigail is so. wide. But it is in this broad space where the beauty of this play really lies because you have the sense that Jane and Abigail will find each other somewhere in this middle space, no matter how dark and mysterious it is. The set up breaks my heart, as does the slow decline of Jack's mental faculties. This play caught me by surprise.

A lovely sister story (I'm a sucker for them!) about differing responses to grief - revenge, sorrow, solace, faith - and a need to understand the actions of those nearest to us and how outside influences bring us together to begin to heal. Thanks to Taproot Theatre in Seattle for a beautiful world premiere production.
