Dobama Theatre is at its
best when presenting modest plays that rely on choice words and fine acting to
do the heavy lifting. Greg Pierce’s
“Slowgirl,” a sensitively drawn and delicately presented one-act contemplation
on the healing of the human spirit – fits the bill in fine fashion.
Roy Berko
SLOWGIRL is a well-written script that
keeps you on the edge of your seat, waiting for what surprising revelation will
reveal itself next. Dobama’s
production values enhance the text, resulting in a must-see evening of theater.
Mark Horning
The combination of two good actors, an amazing set,
fine direction, subdued atmospheric sounds plus a bit of mystery makes this
production well worth braving the ice and snow of our Cleveland winter in order
to venture out to see. Put this on your
“to do” list.

While
neither the beginning or ending of Slowgirl
is entirely satisfying,
laughter and some genuine poignancy reside in between.

Andrea Simakis
Tense, funny and tragic, "Slowgirl" is filled with big ideas and seismic emotions played here with a delicate touch, a marvel of understatement that makes the eventual earthquake of revelation all the more shattering.
