brut

by Dominic Finocchiaro

Music executive Eli returns to his sleepy southern Ohio hometown with a mission: to sign a mentally challenged savant and bring his undiscovered talent to a wider audience. To do so, however, he'll have to face his own past and do battle with the family who helped raise him. A play about the ethical ambiguities of the outsider art market and the inescapability of who we were and where we're from.

    A moving journey toward working through one's own path and helping another to put their art into the world. Well done.

    A beautiful, moving story about the importance of art, of family, and pain, and memory and mental illness and love, in all of its many messy manifestations. It's Chekhovian in the best possible way and I can't wait to see it someday.
