Where has all the whimsy gone? How can we find it again and at what cost? God, gardens and familial trauma figure prominently in this prosaic, philosophical two-hander all about the younger generation’s cerebral approach to life and love. From NYC’s hit underground playwright, Luc D’Arcy, Emma and Warren signifies a formal shift away from traditional theatricality toward simple situations, complex characters and fluid ideologies. D’Arcy is one of the first playwrights to capture the voice of the next generation – a generation that is only now becoming aware of itself.
