Meet Me at Dawn, by Zinnie Harris, directed by Kacie Stetson, Q Theatre 20-24 February
MEET ME AT DAWN messes with your mind. In a good way. It aims to cover a lot ground in its 65 minutes, and almost succeeds.

ROMEO & JULIET must be one of the world’s most well-known tropes. But not exactly a well-known play (spoiler alert: they both die in the end, you know). “Never was a tale of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” But before the woe we see young love, young hope, and great drama. […]
