Quirky, Resonant, Profound, Intelligent, Great writing

See it if you want a moving character-based trip to Florida, gorgeous set, well acted funny dramedy about families and loss! With so many women!!!

Don't see it if female stories/magic ain't your thing, you want straight narratives not quirk, you don't like ritual healing in plays, you don't like 2 cry.

Not fully realized, Ambitious, Funny, Interesting perspective, Resonant

See it if for the fabulous, sexy mermaid dance, for the puppets, for the glorious & very unusual depiction of a mature woman with adult daughters

Don't see it if a somewhat vague plot point will spoil your appreciation for a well written play with excellent performers and interesting staging.

Funny, Insipid, Banal

See it if you want to see well-intentioned, yet undertrained, actors, coping with a poorly written play.

Don't see it if you want to see something relevant, and well-staged.

"Rocky execution aside, the play is not without imagination, charm and just a little bit of whimsy...and the play's wonderfully emotional climax as Elle, Rebecca and Ethel cast off the shackles of their lives into the winds of an oncoming storm is absolutely jubilant and makes the entire evening worthwhile."
