The Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort

This show is beautiful and thoughtful and meaningful. Each character representing a aspect of grief while still bringing a fully fleshed out character tonlife. The 3 women of lockerbie are an incredible force of energy sweeping across the stage and creating the flow of story moving us in out and forward from and around greif. I noticed each different person I was with was effected most strongly by a different character in a different moment of grief. When so many people react to different aspects of a show, I think it speaks what a complete world that was created as oppsed to a world created to support one main characters journey. Everything was beautiful. ... full review

What a beautiful story, and performance! The Women of Lockerbie tastefully uses a real-life tragedy as a backdrop to tell a fictional, yet a truly human story about loss and how we wish to preserve the lives of our loved ones. I found myself relating to the pain of the main character as a mother who also has a son of a similar age, which was only complemented by the effective acting on display. Likewise, I'm sure that many audiences can find themselves connecting to this story in a similar way. This is a very different story that I would've never thought to be this touching. ... full review

A generally good script, with some room for improvement, finely acted and directed. A careful and respectful treatment of an international tragedy, with a good message clearly presented, if a tad melodramatic at times.... full review
