Urbanite's production of Lauren Yee's 'In A Word' opens this weekend in Sarasota.

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.
