StageSceneLA says Such Small Hands is “a play you won’t soon forget”!
“Adam Szymkowicz writes about Alzheimer’s from a spouse/caretaker’s point of view and does so with humor, compassion, and perception in Such Small Hands, a powerful Chance Theater World Premiere.”
“Szymkowicz finds more a bit of humor amidst the couple’s otherwise gloomy, doomy circumstances.”
“the playwright has come up with an inspired final couple of minutes that make his entire play make perfect sense.”
“It helps enormously to have Matthew McCray directing this intimate two-hander with the same degree of inspiration that made 2023’s big-production Rent a best-ever in my book.”
“Still, none of this would work without the pair of multifaceted star turns delivered by Goodrich as the endlessly irascible Paul and Fischer as the endlessly patient Marie, who fully encapsulate forty years of marital devotion in just an hour and a quarter. In a word, they are both superb.”
“Certain to resonate with anyone who has known, dealt with, or loved someone in the process of losing their very self, Such Small Hands is a play (and its Chance Theater World Premiere production) you won’t soon forget.”
