Telling of the Bees offers a complex and moving exploration of grief and forgiveness and family disfunction. Each of the vividly drawn and compelling characters uniquely reveals the ways in which they are damaged and the ways in which they respond and responded to the deceased Eric. The fluidity of time in the narrative submerges us in the non-linear paths of grief and memory. This is an exquisitely crafted, deeply absorbing and brilliantly theatrical work.
