Story
The life story of Ishi, the last Yahi Indian, lone survivor of an exterminated tribe, is unique in the annals of North American anthropology. Ishi stumbled into the 20th century on the morning of August 29, 1911, when, desperate with hunger and terrified of the white murderers of his family, he was found in the corral of a slaughterhouse near Oroville, California.

A tragic lesson of a dark chapter of western American history and at the same time an inspiring story of a person and a people. Very well written with empathy and deep insight and honesty.

verbose and tedious
Reviewed: 10-03-20
not a good story in any way, i only kept listening because of the Edgar award which has lost credibility in my eyes, well, that and it was very well acted/read.

a story highly improbable, suitable for a campfire
Reviewed: 05-23-20
anyone who approaches this story too critically will be troubled by the unlikely details. that said one can still escape to the myth of the frontier.

Story
An utterly unsentimental journey toward the end of life, Mala is an irreverent exploration of how we live, cope, and survive in the moment. Grounded in Lopez’s distinctive emotional language and sharp humor, this powerful one-woman show dances between doctors and urgent 911 calls, a mother’s growing frailty, and a daughter’s quest for grace - all set during an epic Boston winter. Rather than depict a “right way”, the play opens the door for our universal struggle to support those we love in dying, especially when all we’ve ever focused on is surviving.

i just did not like the story, the writing style or the performance. the small sample was not adequate for me to judge and then it wasn't returnable.
