Morphology at Boston Playwrights Theatre

A family drama by Jillian Blevins and directed by Peter Sampieri, Morphology is the story of Nico, a nonverbal Autistic teenager who loves creatures of the deep sea and longs to be understood by his mother Claudia, a former academic who longs most for him to speak. When Claudia’s own mother Arlene intervenes and tries to convince Claudia to place Nico in a group home, their attempts to reach each other grow more desperate, Nico cries out to one being he thinks might understand him, and their carefully balanced world starts coming undone.
