    A little unobtrusive history lesson is rolled up in this warm but painful telling of one woman's involvement with the Easter Rising. A beautiful rendering of loss, oppression, and the art that results. Lovely.

    ABSOLUTELY fascinating short monodrama! I adore a historical piece about a strong woman with convictions, and Adam Richter has delivered. Wonderful.
