Golda's Balcony: A Play (Applause Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the script, a written form of performance art. It's a brilliant imagining of a central figure in world politics and it reads powerfully, even without an actress' face and voice to fill it out. It's superb theater with considerable nuance and sensitivity. It may be one side of a very great quarrel, but it is a worthy spokesperson for that side.

Powerful one-person theater, and on the page, it speaks for itself, without staging or an actress to re-interpret it. This kind of a performance has to succeed on the strength of its own words (as with, for instance, the one-man plays about Mark Twain or Harry Truman), and here it does indeed succeed.
