I wish that for this off broadway return they would just have one person playing the lead throughout the run so that they won’t have to have them reading the script from a binder. Edie Falco was sublime when I watched it in its first run but sometimes when she reads the lines from the binder (like in the Encores) it takes me out from scene. Was there a purpose for this other than allowing them to have rotating leads for the show or is it really just their schtick?
either way I’m still excited to see Lupita put her stamp on this heart wrenching opus by Marin Ireland.
