No Customer Reviews
Join David Hansen for "I Hate This," an autobiographical solo performance that takes you from the moment his son was born and through the year the year that follows ... but not in that order. An honest, horrible, and even humorous trip through one father's experience with stillbirth."Carrying on the grand tradition of Spalding Gray, he turns his pain into well-made and often-affecting drama." - Jason Zinoman, The New York TimesDavid and his wife Toni learn at her 30 week check-up that their unborn child has died. Jumping back and forth between two timelines, David tells the story of the 36 hours between learning this truth and the birth of their first child, as well as the year that follows - detailing the frustration, recrimination, guilt, sorrow and ultimate acceptance of their son's death. David plays over a dozen different characters, including friends and family members who cannot express their feelings, medical practitioners (both compassionate and otherwise) as well as himself. He learns to cope with his anger and helplessness in the midst of grief, as well as fashioning a new way of looking at life
