Howard Miller takes a look at Mary Page Marlowe:
Playwright Tracy Letts's Mary Page Marlowe, opening tonight at Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theater, caroms every which way through and around the course of the lifetime of its title character. In 11 non-linear episodic scenes, and with the leading role played at various times by six different actresses (plus one baby doll), the 90-minute play paints a portrait of one woman's struggle to free herself of the expectations of others and to take charge of her own life. . . . |
