My overall impression
This was a last minute pick for me while I was already seeing other productions and had a little down time, but it sounded interesting so I decided to check it out.
The play was performed in three movements. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was experiencing in the first one, it was a little awkward and disjointed and I couldn’t tell if I was supposed to laugh or be moved – I don’t really think I was either. But throughout the play the outstanding performance of Alla Poberesky kept me engaged and wanting more.
By the end of the third movement I was kind of glad it was over, but still felt like Alla saved the production. Maybe it just needs a little polishing, but I’d be willing to check it out again and I’d definitely watch for Alla Poberesky, she definitely gave everything in her bigger than life performances.
