You Are the River, You Are the Void

The Baba Yaga leads us on a journey through the woods to our local AA meeting, where our heroes struggle to overcome their substance abuse issues while the play itself crumbles around them. An adult fairytale about depression, self-medicating, and the transformative power of art.

You Are the River, You Are the Void

Recommended by

  • Joshua Young: You Are the River, You Are the Void

    Charlotte writes characters that seek out connections with one another while dealing with the profound consequences of pedestrian disappointment. People trying to connect when they've been broken, but not broken because they didn't win some great prize but broken in the way millions of everyday people are broken. I believe it's hard to write those stories and make them resonate... because things that are day-to-day and pedestrian tend to be hard to theatricalize. But Charlottes engage with them well and her plays should receive more attention.

    A fantastically imaginative piece of theater. I love the poetry as well as the financial anxiety that seeps through the crevices of this gritty, lonely play.
