Once in a while a collaboration emerges that is so artistically in sync that when you experience the production, you viscerally feel that the story and the direction buoy each other and encourage the other to soar to new heights. In this intimate and gentle ensemble play, we delighted in the rhythm and cadence of every delicious word spoken by the performers, and the highly stylized direction that created an irresistible mood. For a brilliant partnership that brought us this tender, sad, and very funny play about all the ways we embody and understand grief, the judges have awarded a Special Citation Obie to playwright LIZA BIRKENMEIER and director TARA AHMADINEJAD for their collaboration on GRIEF HOTEL.
