This play is a beast. It is a remarkable work and it has been an absolute joy to work with this beautiful team and our incredible Marianne.  It takes the audience on an exquisitely crafted  journey thru human experience.  As we get the pieces of the puzzle the picture of how interconnected we are and how no one is insignificant begins to form. When it all fits together it's truly beautiful.  I love the idea of looking at humanity as a whole and without preconceived notions.  I love to be reminded of our connection and our beautiful brokenness.  I hope you get goosebumps.
