Our first Review!  

Thank you Deb Miller and DC Theater Arts!

 

"Under the engaging and sensitive direction of Felicity Hesed, a multi-talented cast of six, four appearing in dual roles, captures the emotions and fantasies triggered by dementia, from the present isolation of forgetting her loved ones and who and where she is, to the happiness of the magical reimaginings of her past in her mind’s eye...here envisioned through the dramatic and exhilarating spectacle of circus arts. Those include masterful feats with colorful glow-in-the-dark juggling balls, jump rope and hula hoops, spinning plates, high stilts, trapeze, and aerial ropes and silks, as performed by her younger self and the elder and younger generations of her family. 

 

It’s all brought to life in an empathetic portrayal by Cynthia Shaw as Q, who believably shifts from disoriented and distressed to rare moments of lucidity to feelings of delight, as she smiles and watches the jubilant circus-style re-enactments of cherished times with her beloved husband, parents, and children..."
