As we steadily approach the opening (just under three weeks!), we've began to really focus our thoughts and ideas about the show into a cohesive product that makes sense and feels right to us.
A big aspect of Anon(ymous) is the idea of storytelling. Every play is a story being told, but in this one the characters are literally telling YOU their individual stories using the text. The important aspect being that it's all of their respective experiences that bring them together. Everyone experiences similar things in different ways. Love, loss, war, growth, and so on so forth. The major driving forces that influence us daily have changed the scope of these people's lives drastically and forever.
I guess the important thing to focus on is that it's not a sob story. No one's trying to get you to feel bad, or even guilty. It's all about awareness. It doesn't matter if you didn't know about it before; you do now. The deciding factor becomes what you do with this information. And no one's expecting you to solve it all on your own or even do a lot. The idea is that a lot of little help can and will go a long way.
