Review of August 22, 2024 at  Westport Country Playhouse, CT

From Bonnie Goldberg, Connecticut Critics Circle

What might it be like to learn how to curse from a pro, a famous movie star no less, one who has invited herself to move into your family’s home without actually stepping on a welcome mat. If your name is Chris Fuller, you know exactly how it felt t you lived it, four letter words and all.  And to think you were only four years old at the time.......
