What I liked
I loved the way Lorinda used sound to create her environment. I felt transported right there with her, especially during her times in jail, because of her creative choice to take us there through the use of sound.
What I didn't like
There was a warden who appears in a scene, but the woman who played the warden was walking back and forth in front of the audience(not in costume) so it was a little confusing and distracting for me…I wasn’t sure if she was a part of the performance at first. But N/A to Lorinda’s performance and show. Brava!
My overall impression
This show was absolutely phenomenal. I really appreciate Lorinda sharing her story with all of us, and I was so very impressed by her performance. She was able to take such a past difficult time of hers and transform it into such a beautiful work of art. Her characters, her depth, and her use of the stage and environment to tell her story was so captivating. I left in tears, but also with such a profound connection to her and her story because of her ability to capture humanity, with all of its darkness and light and sorrows and joy. Along with taking us on a journey through this heartbreaking justice system of ours, she was also able to capture the nuances and complexities of the human condition..of love, of what we think love is…it was all there.
