What I liked
The woman playing Mary Secole gave a riveting and subtle performance. She was the highlight among an already stellar cast
What I didn't like
The show used a pair of modern nurses as a framing device that at times seemed disingenuous and took me out of the story.
My overall impression
The show was incredibly strong. Mary Secoles story is told with remarkable efficiency without losing any emotional impact. The script and direction are both emotionally strong and at times very funny. A treat of a show. the use of modern characters as storytellers proved strong in its use as bookends to the show.
