“A meditation on the pandemic, on humanity, on wildness and domesticity, on our relationships to the animal world and to each other, it is deeply funny and also profound. I want everyone I care about to see this show.”

- Angela Allyn for Chicago Stage and Screen. Read the full review here.

“You see, I’ve just returned from my adventures profoundly changed."

We all have, I think.

Plans change (planning is for squirrels), lovers let us go, new diseases accept our application, careers don’t love us anymore.

At the beginning of March 2020, Clare and I became the artistic leadership of Red Theater. Three years later and you’re watching our second production after the long hiatus. We’ve returned, profoundly changed.

One of the things I cherish most about theater is that it can help us to hold up a moment like a little stone. You can turn it in your hand and see how the light shines off of each facet.

Life doesn't give us many chances to look, but in a theater we can pause and remember.

I remember silent streets at 9:00PM. I remember loneliness and worry. I remember joy. I remember loss and being lost. I remember being found. I remember being different. I don't know if I was worse. I hope that now I'm better.

I remember that really all we have is each other.

I've returned profoundly changed.

I'm glad you are here with us for the next adventures.
