Precious Little by Madeleine George

Brodie, a gifted linguist and academic, learns unsettling news about the baby she carries. Unable to get comfort from her girlfriend, she finds it in the two least likely sources imaginable: the elderly speaker of a vanishing language... and a gorilla at the zoo. Thoughtful, funny, and sharp, Precious Little is a play about the limits of language to express our deepest feelings, and what happens when our carefully laid plans veer off-course.  Co-directed by Parisa Memarian-Liu and Alexandra Culotta.
