Description
The playAt a time when everyone’s looking for answers, Berkeley Rep and Center Theatre Group present Five Questions—a powerful world premiere from the creators of Broadway’s Well. After an idyllic Thanksgiving filled with food, football, family and friends, a woman discovers how one kiss—one passionate act—can affect everything…her faith in love, her faith in country, her faith in herself. This tale of heartache and hope unfolds against the turmoil of American politics in the 21st century. Obie Award-winners Lisa Kron and Leigh Silverman reunite for a searing show which questions whether we as Americans appreciate our freedom.
“Ms. Kron is on a level with sterling monologists like Spalding Gray, autobiographers who combine novelistic complexity with stage smart impudence…Wonderfully evocative and often seriously funny, she sets off emotional vibrations that just won’t stop.”—New York Times
