[Nathaniel Voll · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lovely monologue play featuring two strong female characters in very different worlds, fighting tooth and nail to survive. I really enjoyed the characterizations, the plot arc and the juxtaposition of the perils of a concentration camp and cancer to the perils of high school and being a minority. Writing a clinic on character, Judith Thompson has done it again.

I love so much about this play. The characters, the juxtaposition of a violent history onto a violent present. The way the momentum builds, the deep and rich images that connect the two stories. I hope there will be a remount soon, I would love to see it on stage. I wish I could have seen It under the direction of Brian Quirt. Brilliant.
