Theatre Review: ‘Truths and Accommodations’
by Banana Boat Productions at New Perspectives Theatre Company
Life is all about truths and accommodations. Some truths and accommodations may be so dark that they needn’t ever be brought to light. But what if they were brought to light? What would we see? How would it affect us? I’m sure it would change our perspectives on how we see certain life situations. And that is precisely what the production Truths and Accommodations produced and directed by Merlina Rich captures most truthfully. Truths and Accommodations is a production comprised of two emotionally driven plays. The first is Lifetime written by Nigel Moffat and the second is Cinderella Syndrome written by Zeno Obi Constance. What makes this production stand out with such vivacity is the intermingling between the Caribbean cultural flair and the emotionally charged themes in each of these plays. Truths and Accommodations is a production unlike any other I have experienced…and it’s fantastic!
“…touched my soul with empathy and a clearer understanding of life and love.”
