JANE CORTNEY

Simon’s vampy guest, Myrna, is well-played by Jane Cortney.

Cortney is luminously melancholy...

The most humanity comes out in Cortney's stunning performance of Mir'l's final monologue. She balances both Mir'l's strong-willed rebellion and her vulnerable fright with force and commitment.

Jane Cortney's Shelly is hilarious...

Jane Cortney was brilliant as a mercurial Olivia, her actions and reactions all revealing a remarkably intelligent comedienne working at full capacity.

Jane Cortney is able to combine just the right amounts of innocence, loss, and brashness as the woman in confession...

The cast is excellent, led by the luminous Jane Cortney as Alma--every moment of indecision, disappointment, and joy is illuminated in her expressive performance.
