BWW Reviews: WILDFIRE Revisited @ Odyssey Theatre
by Don Grigware - Jul 18, 2011


Gal pals love/hate, hug/spar with equal measure...sometimes simultaneously. It's not a game we're talking about, but true friendship: being yourself in the presence of your best friend, sometimes stepping on toes, or other times, giving gifts... confiding deep desires, sharing secrets; at all costs, going beyond the call of duty...plus one further... in Kari Floren's Revisiting Wildfire now onstage as a guest production at the Odyssey Theatre...(we must include) never abandoning your ideals and personal happiness for the sake of the other's. There's too much at stake and in the last analysis, you are number ONE. Some will not agree.
