Deedee and Davonna are a powerhouse duo. I was riveted from beginning to end. Their bond was palpable, their performances electric, and not a single moment felt false. The emotional tension and looming danger of the play lay bare how women are so often trapped in cycles of violence, and how the very systems meant to protect them, including family, can fail them.
To me, Dolores is a deeply feminist work, not because it waves a banner, but because it tells a devastatingly human story. A story about what happens when a woman’s voice, safety, and autonomy are denied, and how those around her become complicit in the silence.
Go see this show. It’s urgent. It’s truthful. And it stays with you....

A gripping experience that discussed family, unbearable truths, love, resistance and haunted unspoken histories all in a fast moving, concisely, skillfully and carefully directed, terrifically acted 45 minutes!
Oh to be immersed in a play, to leave the world, if only for that time, and to return with the wisdom, compassion and inspiration taken from the experience.
I’m going again!...

An intimate performance, hi-lighted by two very talented actresses and a director who both support the material make it their own. Gripping tragic and funny. It’s a five coarse meal in forty five minutes. So full and so satisfying!!!!...
