  • Tatiana Godfrey: Manning

    A father and his two sons are dealing grief from the matriarch dying. This piece is lovely and has some fun possibilities for theatricality. Por ejemplo, a hawk and a zucchini are characters. The characters are 3 Latinx men who are full-whole-intriguing people. It's touching and fun. Whimsical. Not too heavy, with a hopeful ending.

    This play is so honest and moving. It's also uniquely theatrical with opportunities for gorgeous movement work. Absolutely loved this piece and highly recommend it!

    A stunning play about the ways three very different men deal with death.

    A beautiful, lyrical, and fantastical exploration of grief and loss. The characters are at once so naturally drawn and nuanced while also existing in this heightened, semi-fabulistic, whimsical theatrical world. The play plumbs the depths and intricacies of their individual griefs while managing to not wallow. I appreciated how Benne looked at each constellation of characters--Sebastian/Freddy, Sebastian/Julio, Julio/Freddy, all of them/Ana--and their own unique relationships with Ana, their grieving, and the journey moving forward. The ending was poignant and hopeful! Hope to see this...
