The Camera, The Gerbil, and the Big, Wide World

Recommended by

  • Emily McClain: The Camera, The Gerbil, and the Big, Wide World

    A hauntingly accurate portrayal of childhood friendship, the first awkward tip-toes into adolesence, and the painful realization in adulthood that these precious fleeting moments represent far more than we realize in the moment as children. A gorgeous short play!

    As someone who moved many times in childhood and left friends and memories in the review mirror of a station wagon, this play moved me to tears. A beautiful play about lasting friendship.

    A very moving play that hits squarely about the value of childhood friendships, while also exploring the emotional resonance of those same friendships. That's something that is rarely explored, and I really liked that the playwright sought that out.
