 Not
so much one young woman's search for herself but more a declaration of
her contentment with whom she is.
Adopted
by an American family, who work with multi rational children every
summer, Amy tells us of her
life as an adoptee, the influences in her youth and her rational and
irrational fears and expectations together with her communications with her birth mother in Korea and
the subsequent journey to the land of her birth along with the effects
of meeting her natural family.
This
self-written one-woman show is interesting and provides a unique insite
to her personal slant on adoption. Through playing different
characters from her past and present, she takes us through salient points
of her past, her clever characterisation lets you visualise the persona
she is portraying. She exposes situations from which her outlook
on life might be very different had she not been the strong person she
is. Well written and sensitively performed.
