BWW Review: Trademark Theater's Thoughtful and Thought-Provoking New Play UNDERSTOOD Explores Divisiveness in the Country and in a Marriage
by Jill Schafer - Oct 10, 2018


'People by and large are idiots.' Wow, does this ever ring true, especially on a day when some of my fellow Minnesotans showed up and cheered for the current White House resident despite all the ugly things he's said and done. How can people do that?! It's completely incomprehensible to me; they are completely incomprehensible to me. This feeling is at the core of the new play UNDERSTOOD by Tyler Mills, which Trademark Theater is intentionally producing running up to next month's midterm election. Director Tyler Michaels notes in the program, 'This play swirls around these two ideas: A broken couple and a broken country.' In this thoughtful and thought-provoking two-hander, a married couple is looking to be understood by each other, the one that is supposed to know and love them best, and also by a stranger whose beliefs are inexplicable to them.
