This winner of the American Theatre Critics Association Award boasts an extraordinary series of monologues dealing with the personal ordeals of eleven compelling female characters. From the very comical to the intensely emotional, each scene features a unique and often inspiring perspective that is shared with great insight, sensitivity and joy!
“Even though the women are alone on stage, they don’t look lost in the space. In fact we feel close to them, which is surprising in the large theater.”
Jay Handelman, Sarasota Herald Tribune
“Nothing gets in the way of your close encounter with these odd characters. Even though Martin may not be real, these characters are.”
