As they talk and debate whether they can ever "git off dis block" and escape their mindless existence, they hear gun fire and speculate who is the latest in a very long list, that the po-pos (police) have killed. As the hours pass, they dream of passing over – escaping the city block - and they divert themselves with listing their Top 10 things to have in their Promised Land. At first they talk of champagne and caviar but the reality of simple collard greens and pinto beans, and clean socks in a drawer takes over.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-node-link field--type-ds field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/review-seat/vancouver-theatre-pass-over" hreflang="en">Read On...</a> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 27 Jun 2022 04:04:54 +0000 Gillian Lockitch 2089 at https://www.reviewfromthehouse.com https://www.reviewfromthehouse.com/review-seat/vancouver-theatre-marjorie-prime <div class="row bs-2col node node--type-story node--view-mode-teaser"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-4 col-lg-4 bs-region bs-region--left"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/review-seat/vancouver-theatre-marjorie-prime" hreflang="en"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/featured_image_thumbnail/public/story/featured/2022-06/MP-5-Gai-Brown-L-and-Carlen-Escarraga-R-copy-768x616.jpeg?itok=DdSbhU2X" width="480" height="252" alt="Gai Brown and Carlen Escarraga in Marjorie Prime.

Wow. I thought I was coming to view a sci-fi play about an elderly widow interacting with an avatar of her deceased husband but what I experienced was a multi-layered exploration of myriad nuances of  human- relationships. Husband and wife, mother and daughter, lives lived together yet through the filters of time and constructed memories  remembered more as parallel than intertwined. </p> </div> <div class="field field--name-node-link field--type-ds field--label-hidden field--item"> <a href="/review-seat/vancouver-theatre-marjorie-prime" hreflang="en">Read On...</a> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 20 Jun 2022 04:35:49 +0000 Gillian Lockitch 2088 at https://www.reviewfromthehouse.com
