The Confessions, National Theatre review - rich mix of the personal and the epic

by Helen Hawkins

Alexander Zeldin creates a complex portrait of a woman's struggle for self-esteem How to describe Alexander Zeldin's latest, The Confessions? It is almost a kitchen-sink drama, but also a picaresque trawl through the life of an Australian woman that's verging on epic, spanning most of her 80 years. And it's stirring stuff, alternately enraging, sad and very funny.
