There's such poetry and poignancy to this play that reducing it merely to its physical premise feels improper. The circumstances of River Timms' "dis/member" are gruesome, and the stage pictures it conjures are stark and bloody, but the play's language is dripping with truth, love, and exquisite, specific pain. Evoking Ethel Cain's "Strangers" and many of its stated influences, "dis/member"'s dangerous and intimate narrative will haunt you and break your heart.
