Maxine, And by
25 Apr. 2017
“
A tightly woven drama with humor and tenacity. It addresses families and a range of gender and cultural identities. At the heart of this play is the friendship between Maxine and Louise. Equally compelling is the love Maxine has for her foster child, whose absence in Maxine’s life is palpable, and her conflicting feelings for Louise’s friend and Angela’s new love interest, a young trans man. Brandon’s delicate touch when addressing how these complex characters question, accept, or deny their urges makes this play fascinating and believable. Brandon poses tough questions that will provoke audiences. ”
