I was part of the informal “Fan Club” that came especially to see our friend Lynn-Jane perform in Missing Pages. We all expected it to be good, but we were just blown away by just how damn good this play is. Very hot stuffy “theatre” space, very bare-bones, hard seating, and besides which our friend Lynn-Jane is performing in an arm cast, having fallen & injured herself on opening night! All of that aside, all of us got completely caught up in the play, forgetting any discomfort, forgetting Lynn-Jane was wearing a cast–the play, the production, the actors were all that good.
Brilliant–and we’re all looking forward to seeing this cast perform again in Missing Pages, in perhaps a slightly more upscale theatre space. Kudos to everyone, cast and crew, to Susan Austin Roth & the director Diana Denley. Oh and to the folks who brought in electric fans for the actors!

I’ve seen this piece twice now and the story, the emotion, the feelings were just as poignant the second time as it was the first. Theater goers everywhere deserve a chance to see this play. It’s a smartly written story that is relevant on so many different levels. Do not miss an opportunity to see this play!

Anyone who has delt with a difficult relationship will identify with the stress and pain explored in Missing Pages. Eyes watered and gut tighted as I identified with, not war, but the human struggles, triumphs and humor on stage. Well done.

A very powerful story, well directed, about the futility of war!

Potent, powerful, topical…theater at it’s best, and by far the best of Fringe this year.

I saw twelve shows at the Fringe, and this was surely the best. Even though the storyline is not entirely unpredictable, it takes you on the journey so masterfully that it didn’t matter a bit. Familiar themes: war is hell, children end up taking care of their parents, and holding onto secrets isn’t generally healthy. But these are stories worth repeating. As a daughter who has been in the caretaker role, I was particularly moved by Ms. Foreman’s performance — she was completely convincing as Charlotte despite having suffered a broken arm and a concussion on opening day.

I am a regular theatre-goer, and I really hope this one gets picked up by one of the more mainstream theatres in our area for a longer run. It deserves to be seen by more audiences and in a space more fitting for the quality of the ensemble.

Missing Pages is one of the best plays I’ve ever seen.

If you only have time to do one more “Fringe”, make sure it’s Missing Pages.
