Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Everyman Theatre
by Tina Collins - Feb 14, 2025
Eboni Booth’s Pulitzer Prize winning drama PRIMARY TRUST is a poetic meditation on resilience in the face of trauma and isolation. The pain at the center of the story is delivered quietly wrapped in a cozy package of charming characters living in the quaint town of Cranberry, New York with the motto 'Welcome Friend, You're Right on Time!' Directed by Reginald L. Douglas, this moving production captures the heart of Booth’s play drawing the audience into its warm and wise embrace.
