Description
**** (four stars) Hogan Gorman gives a top-notch performance in this engaging, autobiographical one-woman show about making her way back to normality after a car accident turns her world upside down. With no insurance, Gorman must fight her way through the health-care and legal system, sympathetically struggling through a life now dictated by visits to doctors' offices, physical-therapy appointments and social-service agencies. (In addition to playing herself, she also credibly portrays her mother, numerous doctors, an attorney and a host of others.) Detailing the pain that she endures, the relationships she loses and the frustrations of dealing with bureaucracy, Gorman wins you over with her determination: This is a moving story, performed with humor, grit and grace.—Lisa Martini, National Digital Sales Manager
