  • Michael C. O'Day: Elijah

    What a nifty metaphor for our squabbling, fractured nation Leora has constructed here. Its protagonist is trapped in a literal and figurative hurricane, and surrounded by a hilarious, vivid cross section of America's humanity - who try as they might, ultimately have no more of a way for her to lay her demons to rest (which are of course their demons as well) than they have a way to calm the storm outside.

    I really enjoyed this play. Difficult material is dealt with sensitively, and yes, there is deft humor, too. The catalyst of the hurricane plus the ticking clock shifts everything into high gear for these characters, and the resulting conflicts are highly dramatic.

    Hilarious and dark! Love it. TGI Fridays will never be the same.

    This play is remarkable. Equally funny as it is painful. You'll laugh and you will cry. This is heavy material dealt with in a very real way - the kind of stuff that wins a pulitzer. This needs to be produced.
