Wonderful!

Very well done piece. Mary Helena's stories took us through a roller coaster of emotions. My wife and I would highly recommend this play.

Stick to the sermons

Why oh why did I miss the religious genre in the description? Religion is the one relic we haven't yet cast off from the stone age, unfortunately. Not allowing my opinion to color my review, however, there is not a lot of acting talent on display here. Stories of little interest. Her sermonizing toward the end is when she seemed to take on a reality. Church is where she belongs. But not me.

It's a healthy point of view

but... if I could have escaped with out being obvious I would have. I think it needs some rewrite.

Holy crap, this is one of the best shows I've seen so far.

So the theme is "If you have excess stress, get it off your chest." Mary Helena goes through a series of stories, in character, about women dealing with stress. She sets up each scene, neatly transitions into character, portrays the character with simple costume and accent or pidgin, transitions back out, and then has an astute observation on each which is usually some variation on "Ain't that some shit?"

It flows easily from scene to scene as she pulls each costume from a trunk. It's clear watching each character who she's speaking to and where she's coming from. Each story is a clear display of sympathy or empathy, except for the very last one which is from her own point of view.

MUST SEE. I almost never say things like "MUST SEE" and this time I really mean it.
