Audience response to THE LEMON TREE
"...the interweaving dramas of love and dreams, of disaster and migration, of hunger and the high price paid in the pursuit of prosperity and "security," speak to every person who has ever tried to balance romance with livelihood..."
"..for immigrants, whether they arrived from Greece in the 1920s or Mexico in 2009, must be single-minded in their focus. Failure to do so is not an option. Their goal is survival. The forced separation, the missed life events, the alienation, the grinding poverty, the ceaseless labor--it becomes part of their daily life. They don't have the luxury to complain. Their only salvation comes from pressing on. It was that stark reality that you captured so beautifully."
"The play was more than moving, has kept me thinking about my father's fathers and all our collective motivation for that which we desire and at what cost."
