REVIEW: Kate Cortesi’s ‘Love’, by The Marin Theater Company

REVIEW: Kate Cortesi’s ‘Love’, by The Marin Theater Company

I’m heartsick for everyone involved, that ‘Love’s’ run has had to be cancelled, even if it is for the greater good. Love’s Labors Lost indeed. I count myself fortunate to have been among the lucky few to see it, before we all realized that social distancing is the only way forward.

Review of Marin Theater Company’s ‘Sovereignty’

‘Sovereignty’ packs a powerful punch. This partly autobiographical depiction of Cherokee Nation’s battle for land and legal rights, from the 1830’s to the present day, propels an urgent and extremely moving story and reveals a chapter in American history so repressed and shame  filled, that many of us have never been exposed to the truth.
