MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE

​A MIDWEST PREMIERE
October 7 – November 1, 2015

A Midwest premiere by one of Ireland's leading female playwrights.

​(Sound)
Hilarious and sad.
​Figgins carries the show, maintaining a quiet inner strength throughout any number of surface indignities."
~ TIME OUT CHICAGO
Terrific. Figgins pulls the audience in immediately."
~ THE FOURTH WALSH
"Barbara Figgins executes the bathos with flawless timing. Her performance is so dynamic that the stage feels populated by many rather than one."
~ NEW CITY
Wonderfully ridiculous... Funny and lucid"
~ CHICAGO TRIBUNE
A tour de force performance by Barbara Figgins... Her sheer command of the complex show has her easily morphing into many characters, reaching deep emotions, as well as nailing spot-on comic bits."
~ CHICAGO CRITIC
Barbara Figgins is
​engaging as Angela."
