The Liberty Free Theatre's production of DOLORES by Edward Allan Baker
Directed by Paul Austin
Dolores seeks refuge from an abusive husband at her married sister's Providence, R. I. home - a funny, poignant reminder of how the bonds of family and sisterhood can be resurrected in the most devastating circumstances.
With Janna Comando and Kate Warren
Scene Design: Alexis Siroc
"Dolores...is constructed so adroitly and the work is so telling that the spectator gets the sensation of being in the room."
--Backstage, May 2009
"Edward Allan Baker is the real thing, a hard hitting East Coast playwright, with a firm command of the issues of the day."
--John Patrick Shanley (Pulitzer Prize for Doubt)
