The Pull of the Moon

Recommended by

  • Caitlin Turnage: The Pull of the Moon by Paige Zubel
    “

    A beautiful piece that explores the relationship of a girl and her boyfriend after a traumatic situation, and what it means to actually be supportive and supported. The playwright really takes care in crafting her words in a way that expresses the story of both Kaleb and Erin in their struggle to find themselves, each other, and normalcy after trauma. It's a moving piece that asks hard questions about "victimization" and rape. The emotional integrity of this play is stunning to witness on stage.
