“
This play left me with the deep questions I always hope to have after encountering a piece of theatre. The consequences of turning away from each other, from pain. The haunting nature of losses that don't make sense. The costs of choosing your own small needs over the large needs of someone who needs help. The ways we turn away. This collection asks us to look into the darkest places in our hearts, to stare our failures of love in the face. Oglesby uses theatrical magic (and magical thinking) to relive memory and try to make sense of loss. Stunning. ”

“
All three of these short plays deal with estrangement and loss in intelligent, clever ways. The fairy-tale aspect in the second half of Mentirosa is beautifully evocative. Doctors Without Borders has a finely executed structure that is matched by the emotional twists & turns in the play. Unique, specific characters throughout the whole of Brothers, Sisters, Santos. ”
