She
is a young Polish -American girl fresh out of college, in the
middle of a crisis of confidence and with an overbearing mother.
What does Sophie do? She sits in the bathroom and ponders her life
and discovers her alter ego, Sonya, a Siberian who enjoys life in
bars and the attentions she receives. Soyna's background is of
course all make-believe and it can only be a matter of time till
this is discovered.
This powerfully written
piece by Marta Rainer, who is also the performer, is beautifully
captivating. Ms Rainer has charisma and presence, whichever role
she is playing at the time just springs to life and the 70 minutes
fly by
This
well crafted play is a must see, but be quick, it only runs to the
21st.
