“…the script is smart, the dialogue rings true, and the pacing is fast.... While it sounds like a recipe for a serious drama, ‘A Talented Woman’ is mostly humorous, and laugh-out-loud funny, at many points, though, some of the play’s more serious aspects are given due respect.”

“While the nostalgia of a Neil Simon, Agatha Christie or Woody Allen production is often a safe bet … there’s a freshness in seeing not only something that’s new, but something that’s set in the present day, where parents have to deal with daughters who tweet and blog, wives have business sense, and everyone has a cellphone.” - The Enterprise

“The cast meshes under Jim Dalglish’s direction: [Anna] Botsford’s Victoria is brash, powerful and vulnerable...[Beau] Jackett is at once empathetic and sympathetic... [Orla] Delaney as the bratty teen is convincing, hilarious, and heartbreaking...[Lynda] Sturner is a crowd pleaser."

“The complex Set Design by Glenn Bassett, Score and Sound Design by J. Hagenbuckle, Lighting Design by Greg Hamm and Costume Design by Tami Trask are all indicative of superb theatrical talent behind the scenes.”
