  It was lovely to drive up to Gloucester to see these two terrific actresses play women exploring the past 25 years, the choices they've made, the choices they didn't make, what keeps them stuck, what moves them forward, the roles love and work have played in their lives - and they also discuss their views of literature, the academic life, journalism and fame. An enjoyable evening in an intimate and accessible setting. Collapse

  An interesting play, 2 outstanding actresses, a thoroughly satisfying afternoon of theater. Nancy Carroll could read the phone book and make it riveting, but she has a meaty script here (an ex- wife confronting a mistress) and in partnership with Paula Plum they create sparks of insight, poignant characterizations, and a satisfying dual of wills - with two winners in the end. They play marvelously together, neither upstaging the other, and you can FEEL as well as see them listening to each other as though what the other is saying is their 'breath of life'. The only shortcoming is in the way the interactions have been blocked. We sat in 2 different places in the theater and in both, we saw the back of one of the actresses far too often and for long stretches of time, and at times the one whose back was to us blocked our view of the other. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful piece of theater, and seeing 2 consummate actresses play off each other was a real treat. Collapse
