    The thing about humans is, even in times of the worst sort of desperation and scarcity, there's still the impulse to band together and to give to others. The world of this play is cruel yet gives the seed for something fragile and precious to last beyond the end of everything else. The writing here is so utterly vivid, crafting desolation and turning it sacred.

    At once relentlessly tragic and desperately hopeful, BONEFRUIT is a staggering short play. Evocative of the oldest folk tales and legend, Plante-Wiener constructs her setting with a microscopic focus on the relationship betwixt Lark and Anhedonia. It’s the best kind of world-building, spoon-feeding us nothing, but allowing us to discern the rules and meanings of everything at our own pace. A beautiful mediation on connection, family, love, and survival.
