About the Show

In this collaboratively-created play by blossoming theater company TV, the ensemble unpacks the longing one can feel for another time and place.

Childhood, years without war, early human history, a time when everyone enjoyed the outdoors and raised chickens and heard gossip from the neighbors, when strawberries were tiny and sour. With choral odes by Deepali Gupta, this whimsical show hops millennia in its exploration of what once was or never was at all.

Critic Reviews (1)

"A dementedly daffy piece of fun...A series of three sketch-comedy-style vignettes performed by an excellent cast with did-they-really-just-do-that abandon...Running for only a few more performances, it will give you a warm glow in the fleeting moment it’s here, and in the depth of its young talent make you feel rosily optimistic about the future. This is the kind of memory you want to have."
