Twenty-Six Minutes

Recommended by

  • Franky D. Gonzalez: Twenty-Six Minutes

    What revelations can you achieve in 26 minutes? How drastically can your life change from a chance encounter? What happens when the crumbling infrastructure of New York City Public Transit becomes divine intervention? Camryn Cox explores this idea through Jackson and Ellie, weaving together a play that brings together the stasis of a stopped train with the progress and growth the soul achieves when destiny meets us at a crossroads. Humorous, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful. A lovely work.
