Recommendations of Ashes To Ashes

  • John Mabey: Ashes To Ashes

    Emily McClain creates such a rich world in this skillfully crafted play. Even the opening stage directions provide so much information about mood and worldview, and the relationship between the half-brothers is complex and layered in the best ways. The themes of connection and complicated grief resonated so strongly with me, and I was both laughing at the comedy while also so moved by their journey together. Definitely a play I'd love to watch on stage.
