Common Vision

By Neena Beber

3m 3fSix lives collide around a transcendent vision in a night sky. Dolores' private anguish becomes a matter of public debate when a respected psychologist convices her she was abducted by aliens. And to think she thought it was all because she got dumped by some guy. A Common Vision chronicles Dolores' journey when her personal crisis of faith dovetails with a larger cultural phenomenon. "The common vision Dolores her therapist and witnesses share turns out to be as provocative as it is unreliable. And that's what makes part of Beber's vision so uncommonly rewarding." - Robert Hurwitt San Francisco Examiner"For Dolores the protagonist of Neena Beber's wryly observant comedy A Common Vision a possible brush with the paranormal sets into motion a series of vexing incidents... A Common Vision dodges cliche after cliche thanks to Beber's distinctive deadpan comic touch....at the 1997 Humana new play festival Beber's 10-minute play "Misreadings" outstripped everything else short or long that year in Louisville. Earlier full-length Beber plays notably "the Brief but Exemplary Life of the Living Goddess" (as told by herself) and "Tomorrowland" revealed a writer of odd uncommon grace and bone-dry wit recalling short story ace Lorrie Moore as well as the MTV series Daria. (Beber has written five Daria episodes so that explains that.) - Michael Phillips Los Angeles Times
