    The two scenes in this short play are sharp and dynamic. Nora Louise Syran makes us FEEL for these women in just a few lines. Well done.

    Nora Louise Syran's INVISIBLE WOMAN is by turn creepy, compelling and a heartfelt cry for invisibility as a young woman has to fend off unwanted attention. What makes this piece stand out though is the switcheroo in the second half when the woman, now much older, gets exactly that. There's a whole raft of emotions for the actor to explore—packed into a short play that makes its points with accuracy and precision.

    I can't help but apply my own interpretation to this brilliant and powerful piece. Its a piece that inspires you to think about the attention women get from men, how its not always positive or wanted and how sometimes all you want to do is huddle into a ball and be left alone. Then on the other side, some women want nothing more than to be seen and appreciated but get nothing. All of these ideas and notions are inspired by Nora's piece. As well as being a brilliant piece on its own I am dying to know more!
