BEST LIFE
by Melisa Tien
Postponed until further notice.
If you could turn back time, what would you do differently? In this absurdly funny and unsettling new play, Lourdes, a woman of color who is poor, can rewind time—but only within the last five minutes. In a local café, she meets Sheryl, a wealthy white woman with a good heart. As they talk, Lourdes keeps rewinding time in an attempt to have the ‘right’ conversation with Sheryl. Soon, the pressure of history, social guilt, and well-meaning but misguided intentions creep their way into the exchange.
