Be Not Forgetful

  • Daniel Repp: Be Not Forgetful by Tee Hoida
    “

    Hoida's "Be Not Forgetful" reads quick but sticks with you. It is rich with playful dialogue and serious themes, a celebration of what people can become when able to choose what to do with their body. This play is a masterful blending of religious allusions, medical dilemmas, and dark comedy.
