Caroline O'Meara's "15th Century Ballerina" is a surrealistic, black comedy waiting to be discovered by the masses!

Totally agree with the other reviewers. But, I realized half-way through the show that what made me laugh and cry so hard was not only the material itself, but Caroline's vulnerability.
