    Stunning imagery coupled with truths and sweet-toughness. The imagery strengthens characters and brings us to a tough finish line that may be inevitable but is challenging. A gorgeous piece of theatre that will resonate when produced. So., produce it.

    My Little Brother is autistic. I have to say the playwright captured the experience of having someone in your life with autism very eloquently. There is a degree of subtlety to this play that is awe inspiring.

    Beautiful and captivating, "elephants" invites us to consider autism, imagination, and grief. This touching play uses physicality and rhythm, creating stunning moments of both connection and distance. A lovely opportunity for a young actor with autism to bring aspects of their world to life in this vivid storytelling to the audience. "There can’t be any lying, or secrets, when the
    words are just vibrated to you."
