  A child is born and everything is made anew. In this blur of new beginnings there are tears and laughter, new words and new silences: this is an unmaking and remaking of the self.
  From short stories about unnerved fathers and lost mothers, to poems about 'half-built Lego palaces' and friends who share their deepest secrets, Blood & Cord is a raw exploration of new parenthood. Voicing silenced conversations about loss, grief, and loneliness, as well as the joys and laughter that are part and parcel of becoming a parent, the stories told within offer a refreshingly honest account of life after new life.
  This collection is a hand in the dark, offering comfort and solidarity to any new parent.

  When is vengeance justified? And to what extent? 
  Adolf, an artist, is having martial problems with his independent wife Tekla. Meanwhile, Gustav, his friend, attempts to get Adolf to stand up for himself and "be the man of the house." But behind all of this superficial talk is a psychological war being waged on three fronts, and each party will do nearly anything to get their desires met. The only question now, is who will be the first to fall.... 
  Join me in experiencing the first of many plays by August Strindberg this season, where we'll be exposed to various forms of existentialism, interpersonal dynamics, and the struggle for power amidst some light-hearted satire by Guy Wetmore Carryl. But for now, please, sit back, relax, and enjoy, "The Creditors."
