An epic, beautiful, and big-hearted play about a tragic period in US history. Through the story of one ordinary woman named Joan, Femia weaves a narrative that emphasizes the necessity of empathy for each other, regardless of our differences. The subject matter could easily become melodramatic, but Femia smartly portrays it as a snapshot of a specific time, place, and mentality. Her characters are strong and vivid not because they have agendas, but because they are real people struggling to get through confusing and difficult circumstances. A strong entry into the AIDS Drama genre. Bravo!
