    A fascinating look at the life of a female artist, Dora Maar, and her own journey. Well done.

    Beautifully written. The play itself feels like a piece of art pulled from the period. The world it embraces is woven into the language of the play as the characters push boundaries in personal quests for self-discovery, creativity, and meaning in a war-torn era.

    Wow, this is a very powerful play. Artistically and lyrically written with little care for realism, Simon uses history to paint a picture that is as true to women today as it is for now. The very end of the play has some seriously gut-wrenching lines. The breaking down of Dora is absolutely heart-breaking--and I think all women know what it feels like to think that you are something special, when in reality, you are only being used. A strong play about female empowerment, history, and inequality in relationships.

    I was able to see this play in production a few years ago in Bellingham, and to this day it is still one of my favorite plays. An important look at how we reconcile our lives and identities as artists, through the lens of gender and history.

    I had the great privilege of directing the first workshop reading and then the first production if this marvelous play at the University of Idaho. It was one of the most enjoyable directing experiences I've had -- a smartly written and sophisticated play that juggles history and politics and drama so deftly it makes for a thrilling evening of theatre. I was as challenged by this play I was enthralled by.
