'Becoming Eve' Off-Broadway review — Tommy Dorfman shines in drama about history, faith, and selfhood
7 / 10
Dorfman haunts these scenes while a puppet takes the place of a young, not-yet-self-actualized Abby. You can see Dorfman, often standing behind the puppet (operated by Justin Perkins and Emma Wiseman), take on the same anxiousness of the old Abby, whose soul is not yet matched with her body, fist clenched with a mix of anguish and determination. As the characters remind us, this bothness is intrinsic to the mysteries of life. If the show, at its best, is about someone in the present trying to make sense of their past to a parent, Dorfman seldom squanders her time.
