Ruskin Group Theatre (Santa Monica, CA)
A Jewish family’s tension between identity and spirituality boils over in Robin Russin’s comedic drama The Face in the Reeds. When Christina’s family gathers for its annual dinner celebrating Passover, it sparks a heated debate that moves between the true meaning of the holiday and starkly existential topics such as the value of life and the shadow of death that symbolically “passes over” their house. The cumulative effect is a poignant, frequently funny rumination on freedom, family, forgiveness, and what we owe to our faith, our past and or tribe in spite of what we actually believe.
