Highlights

What readers are saying

Readers appreciate the strong performances of the all-female cast and the emotional depth of the characters. Many find the storytelling, while powerful, can be repetitive and at times confusing. The play's depiction of Alzheimer’s is noted as both a unique and challenging experience for some viewers.
