Send in the bears! In this surprising play, bears of all kinds help an artist determine what sacrifices she should make to save her foundering marriage. Neither wholly surrealistic nor realistic, “The Great Teddy Bear Shipwreck Mystery” unfolds in the literary space of the “fantastic,” where the audience cannot discern the real from the unreal. In this unstable place, shipwrecks occur, love is lost, and an artist is born. Ever-daring, Emily Zemba explores the mysteries of marriage and family through one fantastic journey, over seas and into woods, but never truly leaves home.
