Nu Visions of Excellence Theatre Co. is presenting Javon Johnson's play "Breathe" in the Melton Rehearsal Hall at Wooly Mammoth. The space is not too small, but it feels positively claustrophobic watching this story of two boys jailed for murder, the events in their lives leading up to this, and its awful effect on their families.
One family is black, and one is white. The boys commit their crimes in very different circumstances, but the playwrite seems to be exploring the similarities in the forces that led to the two tragedies--and of course many others in our violent world.
There will be one more performance of "Breathe", on Sunday afternoon.More pictures can be seen at:
