Review: TAKE CARE OF MY FRIEND at The Filigree Theatre
by Sabrina Wallace - Apr 14, 2026
The world premiere of Kathleen Fletcher’s autobiographical Take Care of My Friend is a raw, funny, and unflinching portrait of life with OCD, anxiety, and depression. A powerful ensemble-driven piece that turns intrusive thoughts into theatre and breaks isolation through honesty. Worth every laugh and every tear.
