Gidion’s Knot
By Johnna Adams
February 21st — March 15th, 2014
Starring Dana Green and Amy Newman
Directed by Michael O’Connell
5th-Grader Gidion has been suspended for reasons that his teacher, Heather, is reluctant to explain. His mother, Corryn, shows up for her scheduled Parent/Teacher conference and what begins as an uncomfortable exchange evolves into a confrontation that will expose both women to their core. Questioning the limits of freedom of expression, the power of language, parental vs societal responsibility, and the complex nature of love and loyalty, GIDION’S KNOT is a stunning new play that leaves no one unscathed.
