The Mockingbird News – Richmond Fringe Festival

THE MOCKINGBIRD NEWS a play by Joseph Reed Hayes. The rhythms of a life remembered, and misremembered, in connected short stories. Multiple aspects of the same person, unfolding with humor and trauma, magic, love, heartbreak and survival. A delightfully ADD tone poem about the power of human language. Across five connected acts, a Storyteller leaps fluidly from persona to persona — a Lenny Bruce-boosting stand-up comic in one scene, an aging carny looking back on an abusive childhood in the next — all while propelled by the beats of a live improvising percussionist.
