Hats off to this fine group of actors and director and set designer for this wonderful evening of theater. We especially liked the first act with it's "hens" yenta-ing away about the goings on in a family with an absentee dad and a pregnant unmarried daughter. Dialogue was so intelligent and filled with humor in what could have been another maudlin display of a dysfunctional family on stage. Special mention for Rebecca Robinson who played a fierce mama and Erin Treadway who was so authentic as a delayed young woman with a huge heart and a sense of humor. Thank-you Chris Humphrey for including us in weeks of looking at three chickens, hens, poultry on your FB cover photos. A shout out to the three hens: Content Love Knowles, Helen Allen, and Chris Humphrey who displayed what goes wrong when women don't have lives.
I loved this evening of theater. Almost didn't make it as google directions mistaken and we were lost and when I stuck my hand in the glove compartment for our GPS realized it was stolen. My little radio too. Bummer in Austin. All replaceable... movin' on.
Thank you so much for the shout out, and for the lovely review too! Very well said. I especially love "what goes wrong when women don't have lives." So true. We hens are funny, that's a given, but we're also evil--we're a glimpse at what the bored beast inside you can become when you're thoughtless gossiping takes over your soul. When mean girls grow up, if you will; bullies in bonnets. Thank you again, much appreciated!!
ReplyDeleteI not only loved your review and attitude (as always), but also Helen's comment. And also a good response to a stolen GPS and radio. That is the attitude to have!
