Taking. Obtaining. Borrowing: A Native Gardens Review
Audiences are tickled by Hartford Stage’s production of Native Gardens, a comedic show about fences and flowers and loving your neighbors as yourself. This play explores themes of culture, identity, different strokes for different folks, and drawing lines in the sand of ethics and values, with not-so-subtle jabs at the prevailing political climate of intolerance and every man for himself. Native Gardens is a calculated work of comedic brilliance that reminds us to do unto others what we would have them do to us.
“The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.”
