←Recommendations of Blue

You read things sometimes that you know are good, but then they just hit that next level and leave you with the feeling that you've just read something magical. This is how Emily's play "Blue" was for me. I knew there was poetry with the construction of it and I knew the writing was great, but the emotions pulled from me at the end were unexpected and for that I applaud this wonderful short play. What a treat for any actors to be involved with as well as the theater who puts it on.

After all time has passed, the heroes and learners of history have only ever been these characters. How we choose to remember our loved ones in the face of their all-too-human imperfections is how myths and legends are created and how love expresses itself. It's not easy to find out that the titans of our lives are not what we made them to be, but Hageman is able to let her characters retain dignity in their flawed state. A tender play with a rhythm that reflects the arc of family histories and personal tragedies buried under stories of triumph.
