It's a really interesting play. (I saw the world premiere in Williamstown, which featured two of the four actors and the director of the current production). As with Majok's other recent play Ironbound, you get a sense that she is writing about people and situations that are rarely explored in modern theater.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
