The String's the Thing

by Veronica Tjioe

A play for anyone who has ever felt lost and a profound sense of “in-betweeness” and would please like to know which way is out, thankyouverymuch. It is also good for lovers of cheap wine, close friends, and the merits of a nice ball of string.

    I’m dying to see this beautiful play staged! Tjioe has constructed these characters with such nuance and grace, and the friendship holding them together is beautiful and compelling. The script addresses issues of race and sexuality and identity with humor and a great depth of humanity and a wealth of imagination and tenderness.
