ABOUT THE SHOW
You are cordially invited to an intimate hour of tea, oleander, secrets and sins. Three generations of women tell you their stories, share their spirit of survival, and the depths of their depravity.
“you will not want to miss out on this absolute gem of dramatic story-telling”
“Playwright Maria Colonescu’s brilliance is in her deep understanding of human relationships, especially profound intra-family eccentricities; her keen insight manifests not only through her sensitive and scintillating writing, but also in her approach to direction and stage craft. She literally has us eating out of the palm of her hand.”
“The omniscience of the three generations onstage together, each presented to us as she was in her early forties, blurs any temptation toward weak linear plot devices and cleaves rather to their consanguinity- their unbreakable bonds as women raised by and growing with each other.”
“this accomplished group of women, and by this I mean both the written characters and the company who bring them to life, deliver a razor-sharp picture of womanhood and women’s relationships through the ages without having to rely on any re-heated ideas or diminish the powerful affects our characters have on the audience and on each other.”
“you will belly laugh, gasp with terror, sink with sorrow, and most importantly, you will not be able to take your eyes off of them.”
“You have to like a play in which the actors pass the audience plates of raspberry and blueberry madeleines while waiting for the show to start.”
“Any woman who has been mistreated will likely cheer at the trio’s wiles, and their intrigues should cause males with malice on their minds to rethink how they live.”
