    REVIEW: “As accomplished as the cast is, though, this is really Joan’s journey, and Roush has the centerpiece role. She does a superb job of making the character complex and showing how Amanda’s situation is turning her life inside out… After a 10-year absence from the stage, it’s a magnetic piece of acting from Roush, one of the major performances of the summer.”
