Jo’s junior year is turned upside down when she is the target of gay bashing. Assigned to read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Jo uses Carson McCullers’ classic story to move beyond despair into a world of possibility. fml: how Carson McCullers saved my life is a play about surviving high school and the transformative power of literature.
Really enjoyed reading this play. The parallels of Carson McCullers own novel being interwoven in the play itself is genius. The language used can make some people uncomfortable, but uncomfortable-ness is often a key thing in plays.
