Maidens, Mothers and Crones got a pretty great review from D.A. Blackburn at Encore Michigan.
He had some wonderful things to say and, although he had a couple of quibbles with the show, it’s a very positive review. (And although I disagree with his quibbles, they’re things that the Director and Playwright and I discussed and knew that some folks would love, and some wouldn’t, and that’s okay!) š
Some highlights include:
At times, the dialogue is so good, and so pure, that it feels less a theatrical experience than a conversation with a group of wise and thoughtful women.
and
The honesty of the material provides both some tremendous humor, and a number of firm tugs at the heartstrings.
and
The cast is, in all respects, a delight.
and my favorite,
Martin and Regan (the latter also serves as director) have created a striking work with a true relevance for women all over our nation, and also for the men in their lives.
I particularly like the last two because Annie Martin and Suzi Regan have, along with the cast and designers, truly done some spectacular work on this production.
