There it is again, on the AP, on CNN, on FOX News at 10. Another school shooting somewhere in the U.S., in Canada, or across the universe. Canadian Gerald Arthur Moore’s sensitive and provocative work brings the headlines home as a group of surviving students struggle to make sense of their lives and the impact of a single juncture in time that will forever color their destinies. By starting the play months after the shooting and working back in time, the audience gathers insights into the students and their relationships to one another, always cognitive that what happened is waiting just around the corner and that moment of terror is a train wreck that no one can stop. When the horror hits, who do we obsess about? The shooter or the victims? How does one go about honoring the dead without glorifying the perpetrator? The answer is that this play will have your audience talking long after the lights go down and the crying fades away.
