REVIEW: In Tarragon and Native Earth’s Mischief, the jokes aren’t the point

Mischief may not fully cohere into a singular statement, but it leaves behind something quieter and more human: the feeling of having spent time inside a community, listening to its jokes, its arguments, and its silences. It is a play full of questions — some answered, many not — and it trusts the audience enough to live with that uncertainty.

Peters’ play has all the hallmarks of a good rom-com: all the cheese, all the heart, all the stakes.
