    Poignant--but never depressing, thanks to Sweeney's sharp--and, it appears, therapeutic--wit.

    Julia Sweeney delivers an extended monologue that's so exquisitely written and so emotionally touching that she manages the near-impossible task of captivating the audience for 85 minutes with quite a demanding material.

    Sweeny's monologue is truthful and funny in a loose conversational way that draws you in.

    It is an odd mixture of the mundane, the deeply moving, the absurd and the tragic, all told with equal enthusiasm.
