About the show

Planet Connections Productions presents Erik Ehn's new avant-garde drama, which explores America’s history of violence toward its most vulnerable residents. More…

A killer walks in a circle, finds a killer, circles the killed. Experimental playwright Erik Ehn’s latest play about the violent and universal cycle of life examines the tragedy of Emmett Till and his mother that helped spur the Civil Rights Movement, along with three other stories. Society cannot hide from any of this, from losing, moving, seeing, longing.

Yet it doesn’t…’Clover’ is...

"Closer to being a staged mood poem than a play. Most of the time the language is so poetic and disjointed that the story is often incomprehensible...Amidst the obscurity, there are those special moments when design, direction, and text come together to create clear, moving moments...The imagery ...

"This new work, like a four-leaf clover, links together several stories about violence in the USA...The cast is involved in many overlapping narratives about war, family, and hospitals...I am confident that the multiplicity of meanings in the piece have been planted to stimulate the audience’s br...
