At The Crossroads by

“
At the Croosroads is a haunting look at two generations torn apart by two World Wars. There are two excellent roles for women - Lady Gerald and Dora, who are paying the price for the "Lost Generation." Dora's recollection of her younger self is tender without being over-sentimental. Lady Gerald's dismissal of President Roosevelt and his notion of the four freedoms (Freedom of speech; Freedom of worship; Freedom from want; Freedom from fear) is palpable. Alice Josephs demonstrates an excellent command of dialogue, grounding the play in a dream-like realism reminiscent of Tennessee William's call for a "plastic theatre." ”
