Rose, starring Olympia Dukakis, opened last night at the Calderwood Pavilion, and Kilian Melloy offers us the first published review of this Boston engagement at EDGEBoston.com:
"Between the lighting effects and Dukakis’ sheer virtuosity of manner and voice, what starts off as a storybook recitation gathers momentum and transforms into a hypnotic exploration of traumas, regrets, and epiphanies. The Sullivan-lit Dukakis summons Rose the way Rose summons the spirit of her dead first husband, inviting a form of possession, and Rose obliges. For two hours, in great rushes of enthusiasm punctuated by anguished moments of reluctance, Rose tells it like it is: she likes her lovemaking loud, her men trim and smooth, and her politics pure of heart. She’s colorful, cantankerous, poetic - and unapologetic."
