'Saturn Returns': A maudlin meditation on grief
Theatre Exile's Saturn Returns, by Noah Haidle, is a short play about a very long emotion - grief. It's about a man who cannot forget his dead wife and dead daughter, and we watch him endlessly remembering, decade after decade, ruefully, lovingly, angrily, and so, so sadly. Saturn Returns is about memory and time and endless waiting for the remembering to end.
