Patchworks NYC presents a staged reading of a new play by Evan Brodsky, directed by Sarah Connolly, stage managed by Carly Gilmore
In Forbear, Ben, a queer student studying abroad in Berlin with his all-time favorite author, is assigned to craft a fictional narrative. Inspired by a box of his late grandmother’s belongings, he discovers a portrait in a museum by Sonya Abrahmson, a lesbian painter from the Weimar Republic. What starts as a writing assignment quickly pulls Ben into Sonya’s life—and her world—blurring the lines between imagination and reality. As Ben uncovers queer history and his grandmother’s secrets, he begins to see how storytelling can connect the past and present in ways he never expected.
