"A Potomac Stages Pick for a pair of stunning performances by a single actress"
“There are two reasons to see this pair of one-act plays by Tennessee Williams: Sherri S. Herren and Sheri S. Herren. In one she is a haggard, completely worn out woman overwhelmed by her world. In the other she is an imperious, self-controlled and self-absorbed woman used to overwhelming the rest of the people in her world. Each performance is magnetic, tightly controlled and completely independent of the other. Williams' two short pieces have the strength of plot, the uniqueness of character and the poetry of language for which he is so well known. The evening is directed by Leslie A. Kobylinski which is another good reason to see the pairing. As is her habit, she brings out the best in the entire company. . . Marybeth Fritzky has the other strong female part (this one in Suddenly Last Summer) and she acquits herself well. . . Timothy Hayes Lynch does a splendid job of being sympathetic toward the decrepit old woman in Portrait of a Madonna without seeming mawkish. Kudos as well go to the design team, especially Keith Bell whose sound design could well be used by other better financed companies as a guide to making both off stage and on stage sounds seem authentic.”--Brad Hathaway-
