IMPRESSIONS: "Lists of Promise" created by Ildiko Nemeth and Lisa Giobbi with Marie Glancy O'Shea at the Theater for the New City
Five women actors tell that story of suppression and resistance (from Merlin Stone's 1976 book When God Was a Woman) each portraying multiple characters from different historical eras in a dizzying overlay. It takes effort to keep everyone straight. More immediately graspable are the four aerialists, whose roles respond to and reflect the grounded ensemble. - Catherine Tharin, New York
