By Morning (Paperback or Softback)

In a word: tragedy--the art of reckoning with fate. Which is what By Morning is about: the grief that comes with having a fate. Circumstances that cannot be avoided or ignored. Family, history, violence, love. Three brothers on the nights of their parents' funeral: reckoning with the unrepaired past.

"This play is certain to make you squirm as it looks at familial wounds and buried secrets from each of the four characters' different vantage points. All the while the subtext is death. We are all going to die, so how should we live, knowing that it is all ultimately meaningless? But wait a minute, perhaps I should have said ultimately meaningful? How should we grieve? Can we grieve? How do we love? Can we love? Can seemingly irreparable relationships be saved? These are the thoughts that have stayed with me since I saw the play last night. With terrific performances by all -- and brilliant set and lighting design -- the cast and creative team have crafted the perfect crucible for us to explore these important themes -- and ultimately -- perhaps learn more about ourselves."
