    SPRAWL is a daring work about the ethics of appropriating trauma for art told through but not limited to a fracturing timeline, a game show, a wedding banda, a play within a play, a commencement speech, and an extended Death Note reference. What ties these all together is Dee, a character who manages to frustrate and draw sympathy at once as they grieve the loss of their relationship with their friend/unrequited love through increasingly questionable means. A frenetic, sometimes tragic, and gorgeous play.

    Love how this play leaves the audience questioning what was real and what was art. Very excited to see this play developed.
