Tangled up

Four days after her son’s suicide, a grieving mother comes to a parent-teacher conference to meet with the boy’s emotionally overwhelmed instructor, who is trying to come to grips with the fifth-grader’s tragic death. Melita Ann Sagar directs while Eliza Webb appears as the grieving mother and Margaret Morneau as the beleaguered teacher in Resurrection Theatre’s production of Johnna Adams’ Gidion’s Knot. Emotions run high and the actors give stellar performances in this production, which runs through September 2. This is an explosive contemporary drama about bullying, freedom of expression, and the ever-present threat of violence in our schools.
