THE PASSION ACCORDING TO G.H.

Brad Krumholz gracefully directs and adapts this existentialist cult novel by Brazilian Clarice Lispector. Despite the dense and difficult text, Tannia [sic] Kowalchuk's beautiful performance makes the evening a delight. She simply glows as a woman whose ordinary life turns on its head when she discovers a cockroach in her home. Kowalchuk has one of those rare qualities only good Beckettian actors have: she manages to wrench meaning and drive spectators to metaphysical flights out of the most quotidian matters.
