WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Laurie Metcalf gives a "dazzling, must-be-seen performance" (Variety) as Juliana Smithton, a successful neurologist whose life seems to be coming unhinged. Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man and her own health is in jeopardy. But in this brilliantly crafted work, nothing is as it seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction, past collides with present and the elusive truth about Juliana boils to the surface. Directed by Joe Mantello. When available, student rush tickets may be purchased in-person at the Friedman Theatre box office on the day of the performance. Tickets are $27, which includes a $2 facility fee. Limit two tickets per valid student I.D.

Laurie Metcalf gives an extraordinary performance as a woman facing mental issues in Sharr White's affecting drama.

Went to see this with my wife on 2/16/13. If I could get my money back on this mess I would. This play made absolutely no sense at all. It jumped all over the place, and brought you to no conclusion at all. Save your money and go see something else.

This is a fascinating play about the collisions between past and present, dementia and guilt, brain and mind.Sadly, this production explores these complex themes simplistically and superficially. The actors are stranded in a complicated installation of a set which seems to confuse them unnecessarily. Daniel Stern is horribly miscast as the husband, taking long pauses, going up on his lines and playing erratic emotionalism to such an extent that his wife, who is suffering "episodes," seems more stable than he does. Laurie Metcalfe, is grounded and solid in a role that requires fragmentation, loss and delusion. Her daughter, Zoe Perry is lost in her roles. Yet, all of this can be blamed on an inadequate exploration of the play's profound questions about self and identity.Once again, MTC has shown that it must heighten and deepen the way it produces and directs plays in order to serve them and their audience. Otherwise, especially with a grant from the Sloan Foundation, we are all being severely cheated.
