Reviews

♦ The most persuasive performance is given by Ms. McDonnell, who enhances her role with an engaging informality. It is through her eyes that we feel the desperate urgency in this disintegrating household. Initially concerned, she soon finds herself irritated by the stubbornness of the welfare mother, but then recognizes the need for trust on both sides. The eventual amity between the two contrasting women is touching, but the play and the production are strewn with hazards. – Mel Gussow
