A beautiful, poignant solo show that blends family and social history. Dawkins wisely chooses to focus on a small but colorful ensemble of characters, delving into each of their voices with humor, flair, and nuance. This is a very moving portrait of grief, but one that never dwells too long in despair; rather it chronicles the irregular and human reactions to death in an exquisite manner! Though this is a very specific story about a single family, I love the way Dawkins explores the way family values echo the socio-cultural moment in which a family exists.
