Customer Reviews

An amazing play for all audiences

Bea's Niece concerns a middle aged novelist Anne Hirsch and her stuggle to get a grip on her sanity. The other characters include her husband, the psychologist analyzing her in the hospital, and Bea, the 60-odd years young great-aunt who is the ray of sunshine in Anne's bleak, confusing world. I, an 18 year old college student, my fifty year old aunt, and my 70 year old grandmother all flipped over this show. David Gow's cast of characters are a joy to get to know and will make great theatre for years to come.
