“E.M. Lewis’ Apple Hunters!, which opened at Artists Repertory Theatre over the weekend, is about four men in search of a rare apple. Of course, they’re actually searching for what it represents: youthful friendship and vulnerability. But they can’t talk about that, so they look for the apple.”

Thanks for seeing the show, Portland Mercury!
