Summary
Journey to the subterranean playroom of the suburban Davidson family in Cephalopod. The play submerges us in the relationships of Mary, a broken housewife, unhinged by the loss of her child, the subsequent disintegration of her marriage to a squid scientist, and her frustrations with her pot-smoking Jewish mother. Struggling to stay afloat, Mary extends tentative tentacles to the late Princess Diana, who makes nightly appearances in Mary’s basement to challenge her to board games. Inked with humor and poetics, Cephalopod finds a backbone in the connection between these two women and the choppy seas of tragedy.
