Round Table

Recommended by

  • Jacqueline Bircher: Round Table

    Tender and exciting, this play is a touching exploration of the places we find magic in our lives and how relationships that may (at first) seem mundane can actually be hugely mythic and profound. I never would have thought a play about LARP-ing would be so beautifully and lyrically written, or keenly examine such deep truths about our humanity, but here we are. This play is funny, heartbreaking, and absolutely epic.
