Review: 

It's not easy to impersonate a terminally handicapped child, but Madeleine Martin does very well with this role. Eddie Izzard and Victoria Hamilton also excel in the roles of Bri & Sheila, her despairing parents, who devise endless games to conceal their heartbreak. Dana Ivey is outrageous as Bri's interfering mother. Michael Gaston & Margaret Colin are amusing as clueless do-gooders. Laurence Boswell staged.
