Playing opposite Medearis, who is wonderful, is Lynn Milgrim as the old lady, and Miss Milgrim is even better. She handles her complex part with the versatility that Claire Zachanassian's changing mods require.

It is clear that this woman likes a gay life and has been deprived of it for some time. Her anger is powerful and her tears womenly; at times she is the only person on stage acting like a real human being...
