Jazz Hand: Tales of a One Armed Woman - 8/18/2007

Jazz Hand: Tales of a One Armed Woman is not more than a series of blackout sketches involving Mary Theresa Archbold, who was born with one arm – but that said it's one of the more enjoyable shows at this year's Festival! It's hilarious and touching and completely entertaining. Sharing the stage and his point of view is Mary's real-life husband, Pat Shay. Part of the charm of the show is it's “rough around the edges” style - sort of a performance-verite and knowing that the situations are all based on real experiences. I rarely wish the shows I see were longer, but clocking in at under fifty-minutes Jazz Hand definitely leaves you wanting more!

Fringe Rating: 8/10
