Gorgeous and heartbreaking and tragically I suspect will only become more and more relevant as the years go on. So exquisitely crafted out of grief and despair and yes, hopefulness. An OUR TOWN for our times, using the original as a point of reference, and reminds us of the lessons from that play, shining light in such a way that they feel even more timely and relevant.

12.15.24 - I had to wait a few minutes after reading this to gather my thoughts. This play by Greg Vovos hits on such a deeply emotional level, you can't help but be affected by it. There are so many moments of quiet poetry here, it eclipses the harshness of the tragic event that brings the characters together. How amazing that an umbrella, usually a symbol signaling bad conditions, is used as an element of hope here. It symbolizes a protection we can gather under and be closer. Just terrific.

Heartbreaking and beautiful, Greg Vovos’ “Every, Every” captures the essential magic of theatre: its connective power to bring people together even during times of hardship, to foster bonds of friendship and love, and to provide solace to those dealing with the unimaginable. There are tragedies that cannot be justified, and this play does not attempt to, but it shows us that grieving alone is a choice. We can bring our light to others, even if we don’t know we have it to share.
