Salt is one of the plays I saw at the Under the Radar Festival at the Public earlier this year. It's something that clings to you, and tugs, the thought of story weighing on your mind. Which is why I wanted to revisit the script, and it was just as compelling. Selina Thompson is clearly writing about a feeling that she knows so well, and she makes the audience know it too. The weight of the history of the African Diaspora, and the push and pull of Europe, fingerprints on nearly every edge of this Earth. It's done masterfully and viscerally. It makes me want to turn the words over in my head and continue to think about them, to grieve the experience of the main character with her, to take the piece of salt and carry that burden too.
