Comedy and tragedy- the Yin and Yang of theatre. Dramas in particular give audiences a safe way to experience difficult situations, to learn, grow, and possibly heal. But before audiences can have such an experience, it takes a playwright with empathy of the human condition to translate such complexity for the stage. Andrew Fortman is a playwright doing just that in his world premiere of The Remains at Little Theatre of Virginia Beach. The play unfolds the year after a high school shooting, from the perspective of the shooter s mother and the teacher/coach he spared.
