ABOUT THE PLAY
When by Wren Brian
When is a play about connections. It is a call to action, and in a sense, meditative. When discusses listening, resetting, changing, and understanding. The play asks the question, "when did we forget about the connections?" Many of us have forgotten about the connections to nature and the consequences our actions have on other living creatures and their ecosystems. When is calling us to action while also providing a meditative journey.
While you listen, close your eyes and imagine what it would be like if we stopped, reversed, and reset all we have destroyed and returned it to its natural and beautiful state. What an amazing world that would be.
