"Doppegänger" is a wild, free-wheeling, no-holds-barred trip down a dark, whimsical rabbit hole of love and dysfunction; one of the clearest, and funniest, depictions of a mother-daughter relationship I've ever seen. Brilliantly crafted characters, a loosey-goosey plot that is nonetheless very tightly woven, and a sharp-eyed point of view about her subject matter shows Daly at the top of her game with this piece.

"Maid's Door" perfectly captures the universal feelings of heartache and helplessness, frustration and anxiety, rage and, ultimately, acceptance one deals with while caring for an aging, failing parent. A beautifully written piece that touches, and burns, with clear-eyed humanity.

"Carefully Taught" is an excellent play; it asks more questions than it answers (which is a good thing), and left me a little bruised, a little shaken, and more than a little bit wiser about both myself and the state of race relations in this country.

This is one of Robin's most beautifully written plays (and she writes beautiful plays). It's a tremendously moving piece; lyrically joyous, sad, haunting, and, ultimately, life-affirming. A wonderful piece of theater.
