Ramona Quimby
Dramatized by Len Jenkin Based on the Books by Beverly Cleary
In this touching comedy, Ramona navigates a world rapidly changing around her as her father's job falls into jeopardy, her beloved aunt prepares to move far away, and her sister no longer seems to want Ramona around. Designed to take the audience inside the emotional framework of Ramona's experience, the non-literal scenic and lighting choices mined the tension between retaining the best parts of childhood and the emerging pressures of adolescence. Our hero emerges with her hopeful nature very much in tact, having been strengthened by new experiences.
