Review
ŌUnder Christopher BrauerÕs skilled direction, the A-list local artists mines the complex characters for their full worth, and creates some arresting scenes on stagee: a lonely young woman spinning with a pinwheel in hand, alone on New YearÕs Eve; a manÕs heart silently breaking as he comes face-to-face with betrayal; MashaÕs quiet isolation as she watches the world burn around her.Ķ
