*** Recommended *** In its essence, “Little Fish” is a story about a young woman’s struggle to quit smoking. I could relate – as could almost anyone who has gone through nicotine withdrawal. Self-loathing is just one of the emotions that desperately surly person might be feeling. That wasn’t enough for playwright Michael John LaChiusa, who set “Little Fish” post-9/11, trying to make it more than it is. There is just no parallel between one woman’s search for a cigarette substitute and a community’s search for meaning after a senseless tragedy. 3 Spotlights
