Review: “After losing her best friend to cancer, motivational speaker Cecilia Ross finds it very hard to take much interest in anything. Prompted by a postcard from an old flame and aided by an array of fortune-telling devices, she decides to change her life. She sells her home and takes off with three other women, all of whom are seeking lost opportunities and friends. Caruso performs Berg’s story of second changes with great drama—booming loudly and muttering lines when appropriate—and always pausing for effect. Beautifully conveying funny and tender moments, Caruso creates a powerful sense of emotional investment that shimmers throughout her reading. Even if some of her accents don’t always work, her overall reading fulfills the expectations of Berg’s many fans.”
