“
A theatrical, poetic, beautiful piece that examines brutal, senseless violence and its root in fear, hatred, and toxic masculinity. "In the End" does all of this, however, with a great deal of subtlety and nuance that never once exploits images of violence to evoke pain, but rather focuses on the humanity of those killed and of those left after in its wake. The mystical, spiritual thread running through grounds the play in hope and wonder. The structural punctuation of Bridget's interactions with the audience are powerful and make the climactic scene between her and Emmy poignant and cathartic. Glorious! ”
