What I liked
I like how much I laughed! Dara is so funny and full of energy. She refers to herself as a “storyteller” but she tells her stories with her whole self. Adding punctuation to her anecdotes with hilarious physicality. I liked the message of the show as well, it’s encouraging to know that it’s never too late to mend a relationship.

My overall impression
Dara understands grief. And what Homecoming conveys is that is a complicated emotion that we all will face at some point but some become acquainted with it sooner than others. Dara also understands comedy. She manages to find some of the biggest laughs in this show in the small observations she makes on how she handled the challenging and also the mundane moments of her life. This is not a performance of an autobiography but a personification of the complexities and absurdities of maternal relationships.
