DRAMA. This poignant collection of three short plays reveals the isolation, alienation, and fear that haunt six individuals. In “Pigeons,” the emotional divide between a daughter and her aging mother is made painfully evident when the two encounter an injured mourning dove while window-shopping. In “Family Honor,” a frustrated war veteran urges his grandson, JJ, to uphold the family’s honor by joining the Army, but JJ sees no honor in risking his life for family or country. And in “Remember Me,” two lonely nursing-home residents befriend one another and find comfort in knowing that though they have been forgotten by family and friends, they will remember one another.
