Review: O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE at MILDRED'S UMBRELLA
O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE does what any good play sets out to do; it makes you feel. Your heart breaks for the lead character; her struggle and journey are effective and moving. There is a lot here to savor, and it maintains the prestige of what this company routinely produces.
