Half and Half

By Daniel Keene

28 June 2002 – 20 July 2002 Merlyn Theatre

Playbox Theatre Company, The Keene / Taylor Theatre Project,

New Writing Theatre World Premiere Collaboration

Half and Half is about the reunion of two half-brothers in their late mother's house.

Keene cracks the code of male communication in this compelling story of two half brothers physically separated but bound together by a shared mother and a deep longing for emotional connection. Absurd, comic and theatrical, Half and Half is a witty examination of the nature of language and the language of nature.
