This play was so utterly engaging. Kathleen is a fun and captivating performer whose connection with the audience was remarkable. The writing is so clever and surprised me with how grounded it was. The direction was subtle but extremely clear. It was apparent that a deft hand choreographed the event - between Kathleen's gestures and the interaction with projections. It was just a great time! ... full review

  Sometimes you see a movie or a theater play that you know will stick with you for the rest of your life The Grief Box is one of those! Brilliantly written, and dynamically acted.  Kathleen Leary has the audience in stitches at the start and then seamlessly weaves her story into the darkness we all experience with grief and relationship shortcomings. Her dramatization of pain and anger over her loss, has her dropping to the floor in genuine tears, while the audience is so captivated, that you can hear a pin drop. Her story is so relatable, her theme universally human and her advice will be something I will always look back on with a smile and a nod. ... full review
