Description
In three intertwining monologues, Abbie Spallen's characters reveal the seemingly insurmountable mediocrities of their lives. The young Northern Irish playwright demonstrates a lovely facility with descriptive language, even if her metaphors are laid on a bit thick. Director Karen Kessler uses A Red Orchid's claustrophobic space as effectively as we've seen. Kirsten Fitzgerald anchors the cast, crafting a fully formed life from Spallen's snippets and never letting the seams show.—KV
