  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: The Orphan Sea by Caridad Svich
    “

    "How many lessons do we carry in our bodies?"

    Svich's THE ORPHAN SEA is absolutely stunning. A poetic, theatrical journey through a landscape that is both sparse and lush with revelations, this play inhabits physical, emotional, and spiritual spaces fluidly, with ease and grace. I would love to see a production, and have no doubt directors and designers would fight for the chance to explore such a magnificent work.

    A rhythmic reflection that all athletes, especially runners, will enjoy. Would be very interesting to see staged, with plenty of physicality in the text and a sparseness in the script that would allow for interesting choices for actors, directors, and designers.

    A beautifully captured glimpse of a couple on the precipice wondering just what their next step will bring.

    A great and creative use of the 1 minute form to touch upon the serious topic of racist, sexual harrassment with humor and energy.
