10/14/2021 12:01 AMHow do you communicate when you can’t move your face? In this fascinating memoir, award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl shares her experience as a Bell’s palsy patient following the birth of her twins. Spanning a 10-year journey, Ruhl shares not just the medical reality of managing a long-term diagnosis but also what it meant to have an unresponsive face in interactions with her theater colleagues, friends, and family—particularly as a mother to newborns and as a loving partner. So much is expressed through a smile or a frown!
