Before You Get Too Far Afield
an epic three-part operetta, subtitled a broken play for a broken world, the piece is a meditation on imprisonment, transformation, and the necessity to go away and get lost every now and then. Three actresses play 12 roles, conjuring a bombastic reality of coffee prisons, waahr, car seats sinking in mud and unmanned umbrellas falling from the sky.
