Synopsis: | This evening of new short plays is inspired by Susan Sontag's book On Photography. The producers describe it as illuminating "the complexities and questions that photography raises. From grieving parents left with only a photo of their deceased son to a cheeky calendar photo shoot, the collection of short plays looks at the medium from a variety of angles and offers searing, heartfelt and even funny riffs on Sontag's commentary. The evening serves as a modern call and response between cultural criticism and performing arts." | |||||
