Dream/Home
by Sarah Morton
thru June 7
a World Premiere
Tony Brown review in the Plain Dealer
Home ownership is part of the American Dream.
But what happens when that Dream is no longer affordable?
What happens to a community when a house is abandoned?
Told
in monologue form, Dream/Home is the story of nine Clevelanders whose
lives are connected by a single home. When the home is foreclosed and
abandoned, each character must struggle with unexpected repercussions
on their neighborhood, their family, and their dreams for the future.
Timely, provocative, and ultimately hopeful, Dream/Home peels back the
layers of the "Crisis" to reveal the complicated and fragile lives
underneath: the mortgage broker and the real estate agent, the
community activist and the public school teacher, the neighbors who
leave and the neighbors who stay. It also presents an unflinching look
at the sellers and buyers of the American Dream and how their
collective decisions put the city on a collision course to economic
devastation.
Directed by Sonya Robbins and featuring a cast of
nine talented actors: George Roth, Fabio Polanco, Alexis Floyd, Anne
McEvoy, Tom White, Rodney Freeman, Kristi Little, Cathy Albers and Lisa
Langford, Dream/Home opens May 15 at the Cleveland Play House, Brooks
Theatre.
