Memory House at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago Sun Times - Recommended

"..Tolan has created an intense, precise drama that not only looks at the undying bonds of the mother-daughter relationship but also takes into account how the uncertainty of the outside world has become a challenging puzzle to young and old alike."

Daily Herald - Recommended

"...Quiet, coming-of-age drama featuring fine acting and direction has more to do with the future than the past."

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Kathleen Tolan's play, warmly directed by Sandy Shinner, not only perfectly captures the tension and love between a teenage daughter and her mother but gently explores a central question: how should we live?"

Time Out Chicago - Not Recommended

"...Tolan's 80-minute tug-of-war between a sweetly scattered baby boomer and her angsty adopted daughter is the kind of conscientious play shaped more by the writer's concern for the world's awful state than direct experience with it."
