The Bureau of Recollected Lives

A very delightful play and cast - I loved the aesthetic. A cool premise and BRAVA to the playwright and cast who traveled from England to delight us with their talents!... full review

Set in England after WWI, the dialogue and attention to details in this period drama give this play an air of gentle subtlety. The story revolves around the Bureau of Recollected Lives, an agency dedicated to tracking down the memory of missing loved ones. The story opens as Evelyn hires Sidney, who has returned from the war, to be her secretary. Even as the agency does not initially draw clients, Sidney has questions of his own about his missing father. There is a sweet chemistry between the two as they spend hours in the tiny office, typing, answering the phone, and sometimes just trying to keep the lights on.... full review

I really enjoyed the piece overall. It felt fresh and engaging without trying too hard, and I was drawn in by its originality and clarity. The story unfolded in a way that was easy to follow but still emotionally meaningful, and it left me with a genuine sense of connection to the world onstage. It was a well-shaped production that knew what it was doing.... full review
