A playwright who thought outside the box to capture her human drama. A short, powerful play about parenting, abandonment, regrets, forgiveness and reconciliation -- all examined beautifully through a comparison between insects/humans. We're bug-like when we go through life with a tough-exterior (an exoskeleton) that hides our heartache and pain; we take flight like the beetle to escape our obligations and responsibilities. The confrontation in the classroom provides some laughs and some poetic insight into what it's like being human and a mother/father/child.
