By Lisa Kron
Directed by Christy Montour-Larson

Lisa Kron wants to share the details of her 30-something life, but the details are sometimes exaggerated and improvised. Fortunately for the audience, Lisa’s mother, Ann, is on hand to correct her daughter when she strays from the truth. That Ann is an invalid only adds to the captivating tension and love between mother and daughter. This inventive autobiographical play explores the power of illness, family and community with humor, poignancy and honest emotion. Read more.

REVIEW - Well looks deep into the relationship between mothers and daughters

"Much of the play's power comes from its evocation of the connections between mothers and daughters, the profound things they understand about each other and the mysteries that, despite closeness, can never be penetrated. Well is about the need for understanding, and about healing in a personal, social and universal sense. It is also a very smart piece about how a work of art gets put together: the uses and misuses of memory, the way an artist sometimes needs to let go and allow the work to take on whatever shape it requires. There are deep currents to Well, but they're explored with such charm, wit and humor that we find ourselves laughing delightedly at every twist and shift." - Juliet Wittman, Westword  Read More

 

REVIEW: Well, you're going to either love or hate being toyed with *** 1/2

"Levy is ferociously unsentimental in her approach to a character others have wrongly played for comic sympathy. Levy is playing her for real, not for fans — even though she's a sitting duck opposite the Denver Center's most beloved actress in her latest role of a lifetime. Every time, Brady pulls back just in time to avoid the constant trap of comic helplessness."
