My overall impression

As someone whose tastes usually favor more traditional means of storytelling, I didn’t expect to be so moved a performance comprised solely of poetry and movement. The play is brief but makes a huge emotional impact thanks to the three actors’ intense performances and Meghan Hartmann’s innovative directing. The director and her cast have found the beauty, humor and anger in Sylvia Plath’s poem and convey it all in a striking and energetic bit of theater unlike any I’ve seen before. Highly recommended.
