How I could resist reading this play when I saw one of my favorite writers listed. James Baldwin sets the stage for this beautiful poem by Lamedman. A poem of heartache and struggle and an overwhelming feeling of coming to terms with those things we do not have answers for or don't think we have the courage to face those answers when they come. This play speaks for us all and that is a monumental task that the writer has achieved with such grace and subtlety.

A lovely nod to Baldwin and perhaps an extension of his ponderings on a 'higher power'-brilliantly left to the reader's interpretation. There is an essential struggle underlying each part that seems to endless flow into each other. It's gritty yet hopeful and everything in between. A good play should take us somewhere and Debbie Lamendman doesn't disappoint- the interplay of sound and movement is sure to make a spellbound theatrical experience.

A beautifully crafted poetic piece, each character represents different parts of a person's soul, conflicting and yet cohesive. At times, I was pitter and at times, I was patter. I have been surrender and I am always struggle. So full of emotion and longing and imagery, it is an endless deluge. The musicality and rhythm of the words played brilliantly into the movement and dance at the end and I can only imagine how gorgeous this will be performed.
