* '''The Syringa Tree''': 1 prop, 100 minutes, 1 "schizophrenic" actress, 1 brilliant play. All I can say is that I have _never_ left a theater as awestruck as I did tonight. An absolutely amazing performance by Caroline Cave. It is hard to believe that one actress can do so much: transform her persona in both hight, sex, age and race so quickly. Masterful lighting. See this if you are in town, you will not be disappointed.
