"The production that opened Wednesday night was written, directed and, as far as humanly possible, is performed by Julie Bovasso with bravura to daunt the most rabid partisan of masculine superiority.
Part surrealist fantasy, part circus, with targets ranging from medieval religion to atomic holocause, the affair plunges along with touches of brilliance, daubs of smartness and blobs of undisciplined nonsense. If Fellini went off to visit the wonderful Wizard of Oz and neglected to edit his film afterwards, the effect might be similar."
from The Robesonian, February 9, 1970
Julie Bovasso received the first best actress Obie Award in 1956, for her appearance in Jean Genet's The Maid, and provoked this Scream of Consciousness in the Village Voice.
The show, which closed February 14, also debuted a young Herve Villechaize.
