ON THE FRINGE: Bury the Hatchet

POSTED: Sunday, September 4, 2011, 1:50 PM

Though cleverly staged in a lovely and tiny chapel, Bury the Hatchet tacks secular, as writer Carmela Lanza with actors Janel Bosies and Chris Pfingsten share stories posing the moral quandaries of forgiveness. They reference Simon Wiesenthal’s The Sunflower and other works, but most gripping is Lanza’s tale of her errant older brother, her family’s “Golden Child,” whose epic mess-ups stretch the limits of familial loyalty and compassionate forgiveness. Engaging, thought-provoking, and often funny, Bury the Hatchet wisely resists preaching easy answers.

Continues Sept. 10, 2 and 4:30 p.m., $10, First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, Small Chapel, 2125 Chestnut St. MORE INFO HERE.
