I love Edna and her decisions. And even when Edna’s decisions don’t come through as expected, she just rolls with it. Young at heart and rich in wisdom, Edna’s finding the best of both worlds. Feeny-Williams has infused her with wit and courage. I really want to know what Edna found on her shopping expedition.

Some older folk deride young people these days; Some are simply confused; but Edna has chosen to become a young person in the days of social media, online dating, streaming music and the latest fashions, but is she really anymore more confused than those who are experiencing the life of a twenty-five year-old the first time around?

Rachel's characterization and gift for language just leap off the page. Edna's decision to put off the inevitable comes across with wit, irony, and humor. Part of the fun of the monologue is that you can't be sure how much Edna is in on her own jokes. If you think the play is poking fun at Edna, you'd better realize that she's probably at least two steps ahead of you.
