We took Gaia to see Harvey at the Milwaukee Rep this weekend. We'd been teasing her by trying to get her to figure out where we were going. Before we went I sent her this text.
She was unfamiliar so this was not a good clue. But it set the stage for my favorite moment: the reveal of the painting during the play.
I watched her face light up with uncomfortable delight.
It was funny, she said. "But it was also scary"
The Prop folks at the Rep's production carried the show as far as I'm concerned. The painting was exactly right and the set was incredible.
The gallery doesn't do the craft service on this show justice.
