I recently attended Ken Nakajima's play Seeking Shadows which performed yesterday evening. And thought it was one of the most moving performances I have seen in recent memory. Truly an incredibly personal and emotional vision of grief, which spoke to me from a vulnerable place of longing. This performance inspired me so much, and I among many others would love to see it again.
