“Set in 1665 London as the Black Plague sweeps the city claiming more than 100,000 lives, The living is not about death. Rather this remarkable, riveting drama is a compelling confirmation of life. And although it’s set more than three centuries ago, Anthony Clarvoe’s two-act parable (in which the reactions of the people and the government parallel those surrounding today’s AIDS epidemic), maintains … stunning immediacy … Often bitterly funny, often ineffably sad, this is the story of a few brave sometimes reluctantly so people who stood fast, doing what need to be done … Propelled by Clarvoe’s masterful handling of language …” —?Sandra Dillard-Rosen, The Denver Post
“The play The living is alive with lessons for tomorrow. Set in London in the bubonic plague year of 1665, the play is a scary morality tale, a ghoulish slice of history and an evening shining with hope … Inevitably, the world wakes up from nightmares and learns to dance and grumble again.
