God's Ear at Davis Square Theater

Grief takes many forms. But one thing is for sure -- at some point, it will strike all of us. When a couple suffers a tragic accident, their grief propels them into a fantastical world where the Tooth Fairy sings, their flight attendant is a cross dresser, and G.I. Joe offers family counseling. It's a lyrically absurd journey of love, loss and laughter. God's Ear was written by Jenny Schwartz, who was praised by The New York Times for "her witty linguistic collages" and "quirky lyrical riffs" before they summed up her talent by saying "the cleverness of the writing is undeniable." The Actors' Shakespeare Project's production at Davis Square Theatre in Somerville is directed by Thomas Derrah.
