THE REVIEWS
Quotidian Theatre Company delivers an excellent production notable for the sparkling quality of the performances.
...this cast imbues the characters with dignity, pathos and charisma, and the result is gripping. Imhoof’s rendering of Bodie
– plain, a little lost – endears her to the audience. Stephanie Mumford seems to be laboring under a cold; she manages
to make the illness work for her. Her condescending and arrogant Helena sounds even more pretentious than the lines
require, with her raspy hoarse voice and disdainful coughs. The grating conflict between these two women kept the show
interesting. Michele Osherow as Dotty is appropriately pitiable as a victim unaware that she has been victimized. She
makes an excellent foil against both Bodie and Helena, and is essential in tying all of the plot elements together. It is
easy to overlook the small part of Sophie Gluck, the upstairs neighbor, but Malinda Lee Ellerman delivers a wonderful
performance with such an outstanding mix of body language, facial expression and intonation. This production is a rare
treat: one of the lesser known and produced plays from one of America’s greatest playwrights. As far as I am concerned,
every day is a lovely day for this "Creve Coeur."

Quotidian brings lesser-known Tennessee Williams work to life. "Creve Coeur" is an intriguing blend of sadness and humor, a poignant, substantial play in which Williams creates four unforgettable female characters.

"A Critic's Choice. ...a must-see production since the four actresses give performances of a lifetime and there should be an award winner here."
