My overall impression

I wish I could get my money back, I’d even pay more to get my time back, there are too many good shows to see. In the show I saw, 3 people walked out, and I should have followed along with them. The first 15 minutes though are good, a good story about a housewife going through hell, and I’m with her. She’s likeable, sad, and funny. Then she starts stripping on stage (why do writers feel the need to physically strip their characters on stage — and I like gratuitous nudity more than anyone), and she goes into lala crazy land and starts ranting and raving about god-knows-what. Totally loses the story, the focus, and the audience. Sad.
Great actress, though. The only reason I stayed was out of respect for her great skills. Would have been better if she were the only one on stage the whole time. A man in a suit was NOT needed to sit in a chair wearing a mask reading a paper to “show” us her husband.
