Director’s Note:
I don’t pretend to fully understand quantum physics. Just when I think I have a handle on a cogent definition, it eludes me. The older I get, the more I wish I’d paid attention in science class. You don’t have to worry; you don’t need a primer on quantum entanglement to enjoy tonight’s play. With imagination, humor, and heart, Entanglement poignantly reminds of our deepest longings and yearnings to reconnect with the past, asking us, do the people we meet over the course of a lifetime ever really leave us? How are we changed after having spent time with them? Can we as Erik and Gabriele offer, “reach across time and grab the past like it were today?”
I’d like to express my gratitude to Les, Cathleen, and John, a trio of Cleveland’s most gifted and giving theatre makers, and to new collaborators, David and Tom at Playwrights Local, and John and Caroline at Radio on the Lake.
We’re always a part of where we’ve been. And with whom we’ve been. And now, tonight, we are all entangled…
