An ambitious Triad Stage performance. A one-woman performance. One woman, many wigs, many costume changes, many accent changes, many behavioral differences. Amazing she kept everything straight!It was dubbed a "comedic thrill ride", but there weren't many laugh lines or humorous anecdotes. It was rather intense and dramatic and borderline dark. Not quiiiite so sure where the comedy lie, but that very declaration prompted discussion, which is always good with theater.
The synopsis:
Every action has a reaction.
One crime has many points of view. One moment of passion alters several lives forever. One gifted performer plays seven very different roles in this international hit. After Rhonda Russell’s husband leaves her, she suspects him of cheating. Overwhelmed with emotion, she takes matters into her own hands and everyone pays the price in this captivatingly brilliant and heartfelt play about loss and ultimate redemption.
A scorned wife takes her revenge, but on the correct woman? Lives entangled, stories intertwined, characters meeting in passing actually are part of the fabric of a larger story. Kudos to the actor Kate Goehring for her riveting and enthralling performance(s). It was a treat.
I love Triad Stage.
