The Play 14 8 Lives, 8 Secrets. How Well Do You Know The People Who You Love? Better Left Unsaid, by Joey Brenneman, is a complex roadmap of a play that begins in Central Park on a strangely warm, foggy day in November. We follow eight characters as their paths twist and turn in unexpected ways. Better Left Unsaid is a story about how our lives are affected by the pieces of information that we choose to withhold from the people we love. Sometimes the same secret that protects one person damages another. Better Left Unsaid has a multi-cultural cast of diverse ages and explores the universal themes of family, love, relationships, parenthood, honesty and fidelity.
