Worth Considering
“One Who Is Home” invites audiences into the home and minds of Davie (Irie Unity) and Pema (Olivia Nelson). The emotionally frustrating one-act play at first feels cringeworthy due to cliche dialogue, but as the performance continues, the dialogue starts to feel more poetic. The play creatively finds a way to separate Davie and Pema’s outer relationship from their inner thoughts, giving what could have been flat characters dimension. “One Who is Home” starts off with a bit of turbulence, but continues to finish beautifully.
