An ambitious new production coming up at Brown University: Starting on Thursday, March 1st, the Department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies (TAPS), Sock & Buskin, and Brownbrokers will be presenting We Can Rebuild Him, a new musical written by Deepali Gupta (’12) and directed by Brown/Trinity MFA candidate Talya Klein. The original score written by Gupta, is aided by the musical direction of Brown adjunct lecturer Andrew Hertz.
We Can Rebuild Him is a dark comedy about a family suffering from the loss of their eldest son and the slippery slope of denial that they traverse. A duel between the literal and the metaphorical, the play deals with how a family struggles to put themselves back together when they find they have literally fallen to pieces.
Shows: Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 8pm; Sunday at 2pm.
