Review: ATC Production Breaks More Than Glass Figurines
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Jan 31, 2023

Amanda has conjured traditional perceptions of an imperious monster, but Lillie Richardson plays against that tendency, showing us an overzealous mother who only wants the best for her children. Indeed she fluctuates between illusion and reality, and in Richardson, we see Amanda's inability to distinguish them as a tragedy.
