“The theme of this season could be described as fostering empathy. This particular play asks us to take a cold hard look at injustice and forgiveness. It asks us to consider a legacy of pain, and how systems are complicit. But it also asks us to consider individuals as complicated and nuanced. This play left me wondering if we can ever know the ‘right’ decision, or if we can ever truly receive justice.”
