5 Stars: Falling for Mary Lou Quinlan's Solo Show....


Some news to share! Client Mary Lou Quinlan has done it again: her one woman, one act play based on her New York Times bestselling book, met critic raves this summer at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014.
Here, Mary Lou explores laughter and tears in love, in loss and in triumph. 
She says, "You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll want to call your mother."
"The God Box: A Daughter's Story," performed by Mary Lou and co-written with director Martha Wollner of New York City's critically acclaimed LAByrinth Theater Company, is an emotional rollercoaster of the heart. 
Best of all, the God Box project has helped communities near and far by raising over $250,000 for cancer, hospice, education, family and community causes. Now that's something to cheer about!
Whoo hoo, Mary Lou!

BRITISH THEATRE GUILD / 5 STAR REVIEW - "Based on her own New York Times bestseller, the production is a sweet tale, peppered with vignettes and meanders, which all add to flavour this sense of a life, and the people who touched it.
The titular God Box is a wicker container in which Quinlan's mother would drop scraps of paper with tiny prayers for her friends and family. It acts as a touching and unique focal point to the charity of the woman, and her deep kindness towards the people she knew. 

Charting the story of the death of both her parents, Quinlan manages to be comic, tragic and endearing by measure, all portrayed against a seguing projected display of photographs and imagery.

A truly beautiful play, with a heart full of love behind it."
