I Could Never

Recommended by

  • Shaun Leisher: I Could Never

    A fascinating look at a story from mythology we all think we know told through the lens of modern-day motherhood. A play about the most horrible thing a mother could do and what it would take for a woman to get to the point in her life to commit that atrocity. I love the structure of this play and how it makes a shift from motherhood to the life of an actress. I'd love to see how this piece that is brilliant on the page would work with skilled actrs

    "I Could Never" is a hauntingly thought-provoking piece that makes you wonder if you yourself, "would never." "I Could Never" felt hyper realistic and was very entertaining and interesting to analyze as a piece. Wonderful to sit with, makes you think.
