"Wingert never falters in her depiction of a woman clinging to a notion that her suffering can be endured with a positive attitude."
     -Brad Richason

Examiner

"Rob Melrose's charming production of the 1961 minimalist play from the Irish auteur utilizes little more than a mound of dirt, a picturesque backdrop and two seasoned Guthrie veterans. The result is a stark and skillfully constructed take on a master's work."
