Juicy and Delicious, by Lucy Alibar
2012 (I think)
Soon to be released as Beasts of the Southern Wild, a film based on the play, written by Lucy Alibar and Benh Zeitlin.
• In a strange and magical world of his own making, a young boy comes of age as he prepares for his father's death, and vice versa...
Imaginative and moving, seemingly absurd events and props——flying lemons and falling grits——suddenly make perfect sense by the end of this journey play, as the boy Hushpuppy investigates his past and gets ready for a future without a father. Very smart, hip, and new, this reader relates more to the theme however——loving and trusting in one's self——than to the story itself.
