And I liked the way the story was told (mix of paragraphs, comics, letters, picture rows), that made it a really diverse an immersive reading experience. In this breathtaking and witty graphic novel, Jake Wyatt and Choo explore the power and limits of wishes in a modern fable rooted in magic and family secrets. What has altered is the staging, a necessity as Circle in the Square is a theater in the round (well, in this case it’s more of an oval). A bit of intimacy is sacrificed, but it’s already so intimate in content that a somewhat larger stage, a more presentational approach, and some flashier scene changes opens it out nicely. The small, fine orchestra is seated on the stage and plenty of traps raise and lower furniture meant to suggest the Bechdel family home and Medium Alison’s dorm room. When those traps yawn emptily, they offer a chilling analogue for the emotional deterioration of Alison’s father (Michael Cerveris, in fine voice).

Unlike most young people, the Bechdel children have a tangible relationship with death because of the family mortuary business. Alison ponders whether her father's death was an accident or suicide, and finds it more likely that he killed himself purposefully. [59] Allusions [ edit ]
