What I liked
Every character Edwards embodies is so distinct! They are never caricatures, but rather fully realized characters with their own idiosyncrasies. Byron Coolie makes a fantastic directorial debut, giving the characters time to breathe while also keeping the show clipping along with tons of energy!
What I didn't like
It was hard to understand the PA announcements at times. I know that it’s part of the bit (having worked in education, I get it!) but there were times I’m pretty sure there was a hilarious joke I missed. ;) Very small nitpick, though!
My overall impression
As a child of educators and someone who would grow up to be one myself, I related to this show so much!! Sidney Edwards’ ingenious device of dramatizing the oral histories of the women in her family pays off immensely. I loved every character, I loved the way Edwards played them, and I had a blast. A stellar solo show!
