Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them

Three kids — Kenny, his sister Edith, and their friend Benji — are all but abandoned on a farm in remotest Middle America. With little adult supervision, they feed and care for each other, making up the rules as they go.

    One of my favorite plays of all times. When I first read it I remember knowing that I was deeply moved and enamored with the play, but I also feared thinking about it too much because I was afraid that it would unlock some eternal wailing inside of me, or make me reckon with something I'm still too afraid to touch inside of my heart. That's a very dramatic way to say this play is beautiful gem we should all experience at one point in our lifetime because we're all better people after it.

    Such a beautiful play about siblings and found family. This one just cracked my top 5 for sure. Incredible monologues and characters that I just can't bare to say goodbye to yet.

    This was such a well crafted play. I was particularly engaged on how the play explores various forms and patterns, which elevates the intent of this moving story. The beauty of this play lies in the relationships of the very different characters who grow together throughout the play.
