Members Who Went Said:
This is a sentimental play that is quite moving- with some creative directoral decisions not in the actual play. The cast is strong with several standouts including Brian Simmons unaffected manner, Lydia Berger's seemingly effortless attention to detail, Mary Mitchell's palpable piousness? The actor who protrays the wayward father was also stellar. Sorry I do not recall the name. The gentle portrayal of this family easily connects to one's own life experiences and becomes very personal. See it.
Nick Excellent.
Cynthia G. What an extraordinary play! Everything...from the ingenious set to the marvelous direction to the moving script to the incredible actors...was absolute perfection! I was moved to tears.... Thank you for such a gift!! |
