MY LEFT BREAST

Recommended by

  • Donna Hoke: MY LEFT BREAST

    A powerful solo performance that takes an event we've all probably experienced--a breakup--and an event that, according to Miller, one in eight women experience and shares them in a way that is utterly hers while making them utterly ours as well. Luxuriate in this language and these moments of bravery and breathtaking honesty that seem random but are exquisitely arranged to be greater than the sum of their parts and which will leave you feeling both hopeful and whole. Thank you, Susan.

    I am so thrilled to be able to recommend this play because it was my introduction to the work of Susan Miller. It stays with me because it is a powerful piece of honest lived experience and transformation that transforms its audience. It certainly transformed me. We should all be so lucky to see it and know it and let it inspire us all.
