BWW Reviews: SAVING GRACE
by Tim Bain - March 17, 2010
When writing reviews or your thoughts on a piece of theatre you sometimes feel like you are repeating yourself, every review you must say if a show was either good or bad, you try to justify it, you can even talk about the entire show. Saving Grace is different, different because how does one write a review about a show when around every corner there is a twist? A change in tact? When everything you thought you knew changes from the start to the end!? I am going to say it, but writing this review is probably just as hard as marketing this show would be as all that can really be said about it is that an unlikely friendship forms between a street kid with a chip on her shoulder and a lonely unemployed carpenter. And from there two hours of 'stuff' begins.
