Beautiful and Creepy: A Your Name Means Dream Review
TheaterWorks Hartford's production of José Rivera’s hilarious and sobering play, Your Name Means Dream, is the story of a 74-year-old recluse named Aislin who is forced to face the events of her life that led her to her present loneliness. In Aislin’s story, Rivera hands us all a mirror, offering us an opportunity to reflect on our own relationships, against the backdrop of an individualized culture and the rise of technology standing in as representatives turned replacements for roles humanity once filled.
“The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.”
