Burbano's tale of a family gathering together to send off a monster is full of her signature wit and ferocity, and it is a sight to behold and to treasure. Like any of her plays, she avoids easy answers, resulting in a tale that is more familiar because it is more real and more honest. Better yet, it's heartbreaking. Better still, it's hilarious. Often at the same time. Burbano's is an important voice for the future of theatre, and any company that will commit to doing her words justice would do well to acquaint themselves with her talents.
