In 2011, playwright Meg Miroshnik pondered the question, "What would it have been like to discover a passion for acting during the 18 years in which theater was illegal and considered an abomination in 17th-century Puritan England?" She also posed the question: "What is it like to fall in love with theater today in the face of anxieties about its future and future audiences?" This daring and darkly funny play celebrates our need to come together in the act of collective storytelling.
