Dig is another show about the need for human connection. Roger is content to be a loner hidden away in his plant shop. Megan is a damaged soul dealing with the aftermath of an extreme trauma. Yet, when Megan comes to work in Roger's shop they make an unexpected connection and help each other in ways they never thought possible.

This is an extremely hard-hitting show. Megan's story is particularly gut-wrenching and if you are in the throes of dealing with great trauma or grief in your life particularly if it involves a child, you may want to avoid this show because it may trigger you. If not, even though it takes you to some difficult places, it is definitely a show worth seeing. The performances are good all around but Andrea Syglowski is definitely the standout. Her performance in the role of Megan is absolutely heartbreaking.

The set is phenomenal. It looks and feels so much like a real plant shop that it seems as if you could walk onto the set and actually purchase one.

This is not an easy show. It is not one that you can go and relax and enjoy and then easily forget. It will stick with you, but it is a show worth seeing.

And that's our view. For more about Dig or to purchase tickets, visit 59e59.org/shows/show-detail/dig.
