A truly moving exploration of motherhood that delves into the effects of the complex relationship we had to ours on our identity and the journey forward. Well done.

An exquisite play that examines family trauma, mother-daughter relationships, loneliness, mental health, and the intersection of those things with race and gender. Lanny/Langree/Tabitha's relationship with her Blackness and self image, and how that is inextricably tied with the self image of her mother is so potently explored here. The separation of Lanny into three parts (and how those parts interact) is a brilliant device to heighten the sense that, as we grow, we both try to leave behind who we were and wish for a peek into the unknowable future to confirm that we make it through.

This is one of the most powerful narratives that explores Black girls with not so warm and loving mothers. This play is a testament to a non-commercialized understanding of complex relationships between mother and daughter and the role colorism plays in natal relationships. My friend was able to address to real life issues with her mother after witnessing this play, which shows how it works even after curtains. I Go Somewhere Else is a revelation and testament to the times.
