Broadwayworld.com reviews Olympia Dukakis in "Rose"

Jan Nargi's review of Rose for Broadwayworld.com was posted this morning:



"Dukakis’ ability to move us with a pause or a glance is astonishing. Impish one minute, aching the next, she can be girlishly sensual when describing the first time she lost her breath making love, then teeter on the edge of emphysema when telling how kind American soldiers gave her that first cigarette. She can also express anger with the power of bombs dropping. In a final explosive torrent of emotion, Dukakis unleashes 80 years of built up rage that Rose has suppressed and channeled into the simple act of continuing to live. With all she’s seen, and all she’s survived, she can’t understand how war and its atrocities are still commonplace."
