What I liked

Melina DELIVERS and you will not be disappointed! This is a terrifically complex character and a heartbreaking story that leaves you rooting for a criminal and questioning your own morality. It’s not an easy subject to tackle, and Melina handles it with grace, an unshakeable confidence, and a bravado that pays respect to a complex, bold, and passionate woman once forgotten by history. Well, we will not forget Griselda now!

What I didn't like

No notes, really. Under the common limitations of low-budget theater, this production exceeds expectations by a long shot.

My overall impression

An intense, poignant, and heroic performance… told by a rising starlet that everyone needs to keep an eye on!
