Description

A Lonely Realization 

Written by Darby Sherwood and Emily Stone

Directed by Rebecca O'Neil

 

Follow the trials and triumphs of a disembodied pair of legs, woodland thespians, a beleaguered stage manager, the ideal 1950s couple, Vladimir Lenin’s wife, Jay Gatsby, and more, as they detangle and process the impact of sexual assault on one survivor and the people in their community. Can they listen to each other? Can they heal?

Meet Mushroom and Frog., two aspiring professional actors! Their friend Legs has lost her voice and the gossip about why is absurdly difficult to discuss, especially when the director of their play is in the rehearsal room. In the meantime, Hattie and Mort, the ideal 1950s couple, have discovered a distasteful object in their picture perfect dining room - what can possibly be done to remove it? Someone in authority must know! And the wife of Vladimir Lenin and Jay Gatsby have come onto the scene - what are they doing here and why is an official voice booming from the speakers?

 

A Lonely Realization teases out the comic absurdity of our fear and inhibitions around discussing sexual assault and invites the audience as well as the characters into a space where individuals and institutions are taught to listen, hear, and possibly even understand.
