Clearly these are the writer's biases, and I did not think they rang true to my experience of the play. Don't be deterred from seeing this wonderful play and GREAT production, with glorious acting. Simonn is a genius. You laugh and cry at the same time. Bella and Grandma and the boys characters unfold and blossom before your eyes. Masterful acting, especially by Holly Twyford, who is a gem. Yes, the play will delight you. It is not all that heavy as the reviewer makes it out to be. Forget the parallels. Just enjoy the play and the dialogue, the great characterizations and stage presence. You won't be disappointed, even if the New York accents are a tad contrived. Just as Bella is liberated at the end, so too Grandma seems to soften just a wee bit. I think the review above is too presumptuous and a tad pompus.
