"With Aaron's Arms Around Me" and "The Mire"




































new One-Act Play
A Sweet Word of Advice


W ritten and Directed by Sophia Romma                          
a play inspired by Anton Chekhov’s 19th century short story “Mire,”                   
spins a stark tale of                     
a young Russian Jewish Émigré,                    

who captures the heart of                    
 a twenty-eight year old renegade Lieutenant.                   

The play is an explosively liberating, funny and                    
 maniacal assault on the banality of materialism,                   

and the hypocrisy of war—ultimately a celebration                    
 of unearthly, unexpected and untimely love.
