ECSTASY
2009 Horse Trade Theater Group / Black Door Theatre Company Here are what critics are saying about Mary Monahan in ECSTASY “Monahan is extraordinary as Jean, anchoring the show with the character’s combination of regret, indifference, and surrender. Pay attention to her in the character’s “in-between” moments, when Jean is quietly reacting to another character’s comment or thinking of what to say or do next. This is a performance in which the wheels are clearly always turning.” – Off Off Online.com “Mary Monahan’s portrayal of Jean also holds a quiet fire” – mmtheatre.blogspot.com “The focus of the tale is that of Jean, played admirably by Mary Monahan as the hopeless heart, slowly drowning her sins in gin”- Retro Vision Media “The collective performances capture the grinding sameness of the lives Leigh depicts. Mary Monahan’s portrayal of Jean is layered enough to keep the whole thing from collapsing into one-dimensionality.” -Curtain Up “The two female leads are the casts two standouts, and provide the most distinct contrast in ways of dealing with emotional pain” –Blogcritics Magazine |
