Good, not great
by K on 2019-09-25Jane Mallett Theatre at St Lawrence Centre - TorontoI have to say that I was really excited for this experience, but once it started, I felt like it wasn't really what was advertised... or maybe I missed the memo? I thought she would be talking openly and candidly about her life with perhaps a moderator or interviewer to keep the flow. I didn't realize it was a one woman 'play'. I was left a little confused and underwhelmed because I know she's had such a fascinating life and I feel like this platform perhaps minimized that a bit and she was a sort of caricature of herself. All that being said, it was an honour to be in her presence and I think she's got an amazing story, I just think it would have been more powerful if wasn't presented in such a whimsical way.
