What I liked
The women at the heart of this story are truly so engaging and wonderfully complex, from the writing to the acting and beyond. The staging here utilizes the two stages really well, setting the past on one side and the present in another, and with a set that does a lot with a little. The music, lighting, and use of the projector all work so well to tell this story and add just enough to bring the audience into this world without taking away from the actors and what they’re bringing to the table.

My overall impression
PAPER FLOWERS is a must-see! A genuinely fantastic story of love, family, and injustice, rooted in a woman’s story of finding her voice. The show crosses generations and speaks to the state of the world today seamlessly, with wonderful characters that easily make you root for them in seconds. The acting here is fantastically on point, and the messaging couldn’t be told better or more seamlessly with the characters’ stories.
