This is a gem of a play for anyone who loves period drama, true crime, and fierce feminist storytelling! Mary Amelia and her beloved friend Alice are rich, deeply empathetic characters who come alive from the very first moments. Mary Amelia, in particular, is a bold, complex, and compelling force to be reckoned with; it's an amazing role. The play’s central question is clear and gripping, building toward a thoroughly satisfying climax. I was hooked from start to finish!
