Review by IAN FEDERGREEN

What I liked

What I didn't like

My overall impression

This show was adapted from (what I assume is) a religious-themed self-help book. That said, it is so well-crafted and well-performed, even those who wouldn’t touch the book should find something to enjoy here. Lynn Downey Braswell, who also adapted, is an incredibly winning performer. She relates her story (learning to calm the voices in your head, be happy with what you’ve got, etcccccccc….) with warmth, energy and deeply felt emotion. She is helped immeasurably by a trio of talented women (playing aspects of her/ everyone else) and smart, precise direction. Braswell deserves credit for her adaptation, too (from Shauna Niequist) which is often funny and always well written.
