Really delicious performance


The way that you could just feel Moll's being trapped like a caged animal by her family - always being grounded, always taking care of other people, feeling like an outcast and not fitting in. And then the attraction to this man, her joy at being wanted, at fitting in with him, being ride or die with this scary bad boy, and using him to create some freedom for herself. And then suspecting him and not allowing herself to suspect - trying to decide whether she could be loyal all the way and what that would cost her in the end.. . really great.

A true tug-at-the-heart story, and at times, a tug of the gut. You feel for her, want it for her, but at what cost? Even if he didn’t do it, he’s a strange dude; why chance it and stay? These answers are never easy…

This was my first time seeing Buckley; can’t keep my eyes off her work since….

I totally agree - she was amazing in this and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her
