“Dana H.” Mesmerizes Telling Its Astonishing Story

KenderTheater (‪@KenderTheater‬)

Lucas Hnath's "Dana H." ‪@vineyardtheatre‬ is an astonishing & powerful testimonial docu-drama drawn from interviews with the playwright's mother.  This necessarily disturbing play is powered by a mesmerizing Deirdre O'Connell performance, elegantly refined staging & Hnath's expertly edited and structured play.    The play explores wide ranging themes involving memory, trauma and mortality.   I cannot stop thinking about this compelling production since I bore witness to its telling.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
