Two Sisters and a Piano and Other Plays

Beautiful

While all of the pieces in this collection are superb. The following review specifically focuses on LORCA IN A GREEN DRESS:The coming together of the various personas that exist in all of us, in Lorca- the legend especially and specifically reflecting in all of us; the conjoining of the different faces we show ourselves, our lovers, our family, our art; the reconnecting of the fractured characters we cast ourselves as in the plays we write, the plays we read and the plays we live; the converging and yet oddly conflicting legends and stories others tell of us from the angles they study us, experience us and make us live in their poems, stories and lying truths they paint about us as we tell them to others; the artistic part of us-if we're lucky, like Lorca which finds its way to worm and haunt itself in the lives of our audience and manifest itself as quotes imbedded or forming the foundation of THEIR work; ALL of THIS and more occurring at the point when the veil lifts and we step, pulled bloody wet in clean white suits outside our body terrestrial and ephemeral and into our 40 day DREAM bodies and dance into The House of the Dead eternal room and we welcome ourselves into the liquid transparent opaqueness of who we are, were, want to be and can (WILL) never be; the images we made ourselves into and the images others made of us; as we make the silent scream of warring peace in that final moment we relive repeatedly until . . . until we have to . . . until we have to- no matter how much we fight it, it is inevitable WE HAVE TO . . . is what Lorca in a Green Dress achieves in its structure. Theme IS structure in Cruz. DAMN. GREAT work!
