Opis

Sophy thinks she's the holy whore, Miriam runs from the family, and Justin tries to keep them all together. These three cousins with uncanny psychic abilities embark on a strange road trip in order to say goodbye. Family, mysticism, sex, and Judaism. "Brooke Berman's play UNTIL WE FIND EACH OTHER ... has two important things going for it: an intriguing subject matter (the nature of faith) that rarely gets explored in the theater and a clear understanding of the way time and place can be quickly fractured and collaged in live theater ... it's not often that you want to hear more from a play's characters. The six people Berman has created are so distinctive and conflicted that they really keep you guessing. At the heart of this strange but gently mystical 90-minute drama ... are three American Jews ― cousins who are so close they might be siblings, and at the same time so different they might be from far-flung planets. Everyone is searching for something in this play, and while that in itself is nothing new, the talk about love and experience and spirituality is complicated, yearning, honest and embattled. And in true Talmudic style, there are far more questions than simple answers. UNTIL WE FIND EACH OTHER is a play in which everybody is wrestling with angels. And their battles are worth observing." -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun Times
