Ravenous

by Daria Miyeko Marinelli

You don't understand how hungry I am / Trust me I do

Adri’s come home for her gun and Cian just wants to be left alone. And both of them know that without a gun they surely will die. Set in Post-World War II Italy, Ravenous examines what it means to be hungry and what we will do to become satisfied.

    “

    I had the pleasure of participating in a reading of this play at the New Harmony Project 2018, and to this day the work still flashes across my mind. Raw and thorny, Ravenous captures perfectly two people who are reaching for one another and how frightening it is when that desire cannot be defined.
