It’s been two years since Fiona’s son vanished, but she’s still searching for him. In a Word tells her story, mixing comedy and tragedy as the story takes the audience back in time to re-examine a pivotal day as Fiona searches for clues. The way we use language and the horror of losing a child — literally losing him, at a gas station — combines in this surrealist production. 80 minutes, with no intermission.

In A Word | Urbanite Theatre, 1487 Second St., Sarasota | Through Apr. 14: Wed.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 2 p.m. | $5-$29 | 941-321-1397 | urbanitetheatre.org
