God's Middle Name

Last night we attended a play at the Osprey entitled "God's Middle Name".

Written by Jennifer Overton and acted by Jennifer and Christian Murray, it was a one act play (90 minutes) about the raising of an autistic son. Based on Jennifer's own experience with her own son, it was poignant, witty, and devastatingly accurate about both the facts and feelings of dealing constantly with an autistic child. It certainly put me right back in the classroom with many of the special children with whom I worked over the years. The set was very simplistic and scenery consisted of slides projected on a huge rear screen. A very moving and effective performance that has won several awards.

If you happen to have a chance to attend a performance, go.
