Only Flowers: A 2.5 Minute Ride Review
Hartford Stage presents Tony Award-winning playwright Lisa Kron’s 2.5 Minute Ride, directed by Zoë Golub-Sass. This story fuses a retrospective exploration of Lisa’s history by way of her father’s life with happenings from her family’s present. 2.5 Minute Ride is an emotional rollercoaster that allows us to try on a lens of personalized grief to view stories we only received glimpses of though the histories we’ve heard recounted over and over again— but with an understanding that life goes on despite all those things “we thought we could walk alway from.”
“The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.”
