Skin.Flesh.Bone.

An original play written by Camilla Ammirati, adapted (by the GTTP Ensemble) from her screenplay, and directed by Jessica Ammirati

“Words are the ocean, fine, but they were never meant to be the boat.”

From the abstract reaches of poetry to the basic functioning of speech, the language of the play illuminates the struggles of five characters to deal with each other honestly. Skin.Flesh.Bone. integrates the stories of several people trying to find their way clear of the experiences and expectations, of the words and failures of words, that have held them back. They search for their voices, writing poetry not only with their pens, but with their silences and their actions. By the end of the play each character has gone on the journey to which the title refers, delving one at a time through the layers of how things seem and how things are: the superficial impression of skin, the rich complication of flesh, and the bare truth of bones.
