Emily of Emerald Hill (The Studios: fifty)

so tragic, this Emily of Emerald Hill. karen tan, good with all the code switch, even better with the simplest, subtlest drop in register to shake the audience with her son's death; but she remains a motormouth at times. the symbolism of the final quilt, a life's work yet used in solitude. and the paradox of control, where the more one has of it, after a certain point one stops being indispensable. likewise, those without power are free. those who say the text is dated and has lost its relevance need only look at the debates of the last fortnight.
