The true purpose of this show is clearly to expose the cruelty prevalent in turn of the century American High society. However, the fact that this has been done under the guise of high-drama is truly revolutionary. The intelligence & unadulterated talent needed to do this is gargantuan. May Wilde, Fitzgerald & Tolkien doff their proverbial death caps.
Natasha Leggero is spell-binding in the role of Lillian, her acting is mesmerising. Christina Hendricks enthrals as the mentally retarded Chair & the tall blond one does not hinder her cast-mates in their collective tour de force of thespian mastery.
*BE WARNED: Several scenes are both shocking & extremely moving. I wept when the tall blond one was nailed by her brother.
In summation, Natasha Leggero is a dreamboat. I'd love nothing more than to live in her knickers, lulled, hammock-like by her gait & when the stench became unbearable I would gnaw on her inner-thigh & shout, "wash woman! Wash!". She truly is what contemporary urchins refer to as, 'a babe'. I'm prepared to fight any woman who says otherwise & by 'fight' I mean properly lay into. I am man, hear me roar!
score 6/10
