Well

"Lisa Kron's sparkling autobiographical play Well … turns out to be about the mystery of human personalities, even and especially those of the people you think you know intimately … [Kron] speaks of what happens when grown children, who feel they have gained perspective on their past, return to the family homestead: 'You realize that your parents live in an alternative universe where your therapy has no power'… Lisa Kron may understand, painfully and regretfully, that we can never really know someone else, but the loving vigor with which she tries to do so here turns the natural selfishness of the memoir into a glowing act of generosity." (New York Times) "Truly a beautiful play in many ways, Well paints a mother-and-daughter picture of rich, unusual artistry … Matters like race, creed and health are best considered from the other person's viewpoint. Kron's essential message about the importance of weaving the incongruous parts into the fabric of life provides a compassionate antidote to our judgmental times. Wise and funny and utterly winning."
