–A searing, hilarious, post-tragedy collision of Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ and ‘Sesame Street’–
“The play asks us: what, if anything, does a child owe a parent? How do we talk about aging and death in our society? Can a young generation face the choices they’ve made when they no longer have their elders as voices of reason?” –Tatiana Baccari, Director
