This is the Thing

Alone in a room...with a guitar...and the memory of his mom. Well written and performed by Jeff Jones.
We float in and out of the hospital room. Jeff gives us jump cuts of his life around the memory of mom and self. Heartfelt. True. This is his whole life in a moment. A commonly told personal story.
I look forward to the next play Jeff writes. This is the Thing is a well told honour to his mom. Don't miss it.

PUP grew out of Patrick Brennan technical, managerial and design practice. Recent projects span theatre, film and dance in the professional, community and educational arenas. A need for support of site specific and community arts has arisen out of his involvement with the Downtown Arts Centre.
