The Romantic Movement

Recommended by

Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Romantic Movement by Emily Bohannon

“

Bohannon has a great knack for writing all these different characters so well, and the relationships are so real. Such a great piece that juxtaposes the dream of being able to do what you love (music) v. the rest of life and war at the moment when these young 20 somethings have to leave their childhoods behind and make big choices - a beautiful play.

One of the best plays I have encountered on here! As someone all-too-familiar with Interlochen, classical music, and Florida, this play brought with it a wave of nostalgia. I loved the characters, their individual journeys, and their collective catharsis. Brava Emily!
