Madeline Sayet's Where We Belong opened its New York premiere Off-Broadway at The Public Theater's LuEsther Theater November 9, and the reviews are in. The run will continue through November 27.

Directed by Mei Ann Teo, the work sees Mohegan theatre artist Madeline Sayet grappling with the question of what it means to belong, a question that was front of mind when she moved to England to pursue a doctorate in Shakespeare in the midst of the Brexit campaign in 2015. Emily Preis is the production's standby.
