"We Are Samurai"

Marrow's Edge; Hatchfund
After Josephine returns home to find her cats brutally murdered for a crime she committed in a past life, she enlists her boyfriend to help her avenge her cats’ deaths. What follows is a series of small, violent acts that are mundane and yet deeply tragic in their cyclical nature. Rooted in both contemporary suburbia and the historical traditions of Japanese Theatre, We Are Samurai uses cats, iPhones, and simultaneous action to explore age-old questions of agency and entitlement.
"Devare’s skill in comedy shines..." "The dedication of the cast and crew on this developmental piece is apparent through and through."
-Brett Epstein, Theatre is Easy
"the actors worked extremely hard and their energy and focus were instrumental in holding the performance together as a whole."
