For Leonora, or, Companions by

A lot of plays have magic, but few truly feel magical even in the moments that are part of "reality." Hayley St. James's "For Leonora, or, Companions" depicts and discusses two kinds of spectrums - I also love the way they used that parallel terminology - but it's the development of a relationship and the exploration of imagination that is really the focus of the story arc. I appreciate that St. James's queer autistic characters are allowed to express and explore their identities in a play that is, at its core, about finding your person. ”
