pieces together results in an unexpected redemption.
Here's What the Critics Had to Say:
“It’s no surprise that young Esther Emery is already among this city’s best directors…With Tongue, Emery’s intent is absolutely
kick-ass unmistakable...in one of the best performances of the last couple seasons around here, [Robin Christ] commands every
square inch of her background scenes without a word. Marvelous.” --Marty Jones-Westlin, San Diego City Beat
“Director Esther Emery cast to perfection. Her direction appeared flawless...Stone Soup’s venue is marvelous. As we have come to
expect, they have provided a thought provoking play extremely well executed.”
