    “

    We had the privilege of hosting a reading of "The Cure" by Alex Dremann through the Media Arts Council Reading Series. This play speaks to the need for personal connections, yet our fears to make them. As the play evolves, we are drawn into the mystery with a resolution I never saw coming.

    Joan carries a suitcase of a purse, a sign of her well-organized “stuff,” yet somehow in the last year she’s lost contact with her son Matt. After Matt seemingly wills himself to death and donates all his organs, Joan searches the ICU for the recipients to find answers, to find the question, to find Matt. Alex Dremann’s “The Cure” aims to make us laugh and break our hearts at the same time. With naturalistic dialog, a simple set, and unforgettable characters, “The Cure” trades easy answers for mystery and lyricism. A powerful play. Highly recommended.

    I saw a reading of this in Dayton, Ohio. It was both a hilariously funny and deeply moving, well written play with an unexpected but satisfying ending.

    The Cure allows us to go on a journey with a woman who has last her son. The journey is moving in a real way because we aren't sure if the mother is truly heartbroken or just anger or both. But what I adore about the journey is that we are learning about her son along with her. It's a journey of truth and heartache and love.
