Going to St. Ives [A]

During the intermission I found myself thinking "I need a grade that's better than A to give this show"!! The second act was just slightly less perfect, so an A will suffice. It's a wonderful show: excellent acting, well directed, nice sets - who could ask for anything more. I won't say much about the plot, not because it's such a great mystery, but because it's better if you discover it leisurely for yourself as the play progresses. Suffice it to say that it's about a friendship between an English woman and an African woman. And add further that the play, while seeming to have local/personal focus, tackles some gigantic/global problems.
