Sävë thë Whälës, etc.

Recommended by

  • Jennifer Kokai: Sävë thë Whälës, etc.

    I found this play a remarkably lovely and sad meditation on connection, change, and loss. The characters are well developed and interesting, and the play gestures towards non-human characters as well in a way that is not cloying but asks us to better think of ourselves as humans in conversation with the rest of the natural world. The production leaves scope for a great deal of imagination while offering ways to achieve it that are complicated or simple making it very producible.

    I am in awe of this play, I read it twice back-to-back. The hilarious, witty, and poignant dialog creates truly heart-wrenching tension in the backdrop of the climate apocalypse, combined with some truly surprising and playful moments that break the walls of theatrical convention. It perfectly encapsulates my own, and what I believe to be my generation's fear of climate change, and is a story that I hope many, many audiences get to see.

    Vividly drawn characters with witty, sharp dialogue, culminating in the most theatrical expressions of climate change and community I've read. A great play from a great writer.
