Generational ✨traaaauummmaaaaaaaaaa✨

I was cast as Little Charles for a production in New York. This play is challenging, dark, and can be difficult to watch. 

The more you examine it the more it unfolds before you, and the more you can take from it. It's got layers!

This just felt like a showcase of how screwed up an author could make a family. It bordered on ridiculous and read like bad reality tv. The language and behaviour surrounding some of the topics in this play made me think this was written in the 80s and I was shocked to find out the actual publication date. Finally, I absolutely hate when male authors write about the “female experience” and this was no exception.
