What I liked

The time just sped by, getting glimpses of all of the 5 different women. The changes in lighting, movement, and voice was so surprising to discover a new personality. The stories were so different and I was moved by each character in a different way. I was touched very much by honesty and emotion in the acting of each character. The parting words were the gem of the show. It is valuable knowledge to those who have not come through that awful door of Loss and Grief.

What I didn't like

Nothing, except maybe a longer time in the play length to allow you to get to know these characters better.

My overall impression

An amazing look at ‘widowhood’ – both gut wrenching at times, and a look at the humerous aspects of the experiences and frustrations of ‘the loss.’ The stories of all the widows were well crafted and much personal insight and pain could be felt through all of them from Marianne’s performance.
