[Newbry] instilled in Echo a proud and winning heart unguarded against pain that, when fractured, left the audience in a similar state. Hers was an astonishingly natural, at times achingly heartfelt performance that will be difficult to surpass.

The play's standout performance belongs to Jenny Newbry, who portrays May. She completely inhabits the part. At times her body writhes and shakes, suggesting some past traumas only hinted at by the script, yet somehow deepening its impact.

Go see this play! A heartbreaking story [that is] is everything a one-woman-show should be. Don’t miss this powerhouse performance, you’ll be kicking yourself if you do!
