My overall impression
First off, I want to say that I had to leave before the end which had absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the work, I had just not scheduled my shows correctly. Apologies to the cast!! HOWEVER, I can at least say that it was somewhat painful for me to care myself away from the show, and it was so good that I’ve made plans to go back and watch the whole thing again.
This is just an intimate nuanced production that really creates a world so simply and beautifully. It’s an established play that probably a lot of theater majors know about, and although it had escaped me until now, I am officially a fan of Maria Irene Fornes..
Annie Hamilton especially did a phenomenal job delivering a heartbreaking performance throbbing with honesty and earnestness.. The direction by Shaya Macahey was captivating and even the odd bump-then-fade if her light cues were hyptnotic and helped create a world all it’s own.
