SHOW SYNOPSIS & details
as submitted by the artist(s)
This short play is a brief glimpse into the life of a married couple who are both having online affairs. Neither spouse is aware of that fact. Both are emotionally and sexually frustrated but pretend that nothing is wrong. They refuse to communicate and address what is really going on in their relationship. Audiences can expect to eavesdrop and be voyeurs in the secret lives that the husband and wife are living. Will they sympathize with the wife, husband, neither. The play set in the home of the couple.
Powerful Long Ladder staged Regina Taylor's "Resistance" at the inaugural 2019 Borderlight Theatre Festival. We are excited to be on board Maiden Voyage Ensemble Theatre's exciting new work.
Powerful Long Ladder's mission is to showcase classics and new works with emphasis on the black experience, unapologetically. To educate, inform and inspire.

SHOW REVIEWS
Interesting, but not what I expected
I thought Remember December was an interesting, mature audience play, but because of the room it was performed in, there were times I could not hear the dialogue. I was very impressed that only two actors could actually pull off the scenes, but also felt it could’ve used music playing in the background. This would’ve helped emphasize the moods, and kept the transitions flowing smoothly.
After watching some of the reactions in the audience, I feel that this play could reach wider crowds if it didn’t use intense profanity and strong racial overtones. Also, some technical elements could have been executed better. If these things were corrected, I would highly recommend it, because this play focuses on a subject that some people in long-term relationships can relate to!
