Gidion's Knot
539 Tremont Street Boston
Over the course of a parent-teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed fifth-grade teacher engage in a fraught conversation about the recent suspension of Gidion. The boy may have been the victim of bullying -- or he may have been the abuser. As the women challenge each other, they earn our compassion and a few much-needed laughs, but can they untangle the many mysteries of Gidion's Knot? The enthralling discussion develops into a dramatically charged study of what happens when freedom of expression, the failure of our school systems and personal responsibility collide. Beloved Boston actress Karen MacDonald directs this suspenseful one-act drama written by Johnna Adams.
