What I liked

Seamus brings Nancy to life after death in a unique way that begins with but transcends camp. Through Nancy, he weaves in voices from his own life, only revealing at the end what Nancy means, or meant or could mean to him. It is funny, poignant, sad, and beautiful in unexpected ways. Highly recommend.

What I didn't like

n/a

My overall impression

This play is all the title suggests. It is historical and gay; it stars Nancy; and its a bit clownish. But there is a tender beating heart beneath the camp, and that is the genius of this piece.
