It is the most compelling and fascinating moment of this play. Elizabeth Anne McCarthy directs this monologue, which has little conjunction with the way that she and Lora Campbell have directed the rest of the piece, but here she uses movement and character to inform the text from Shapiro\u2019s book and to forge an instant connection with the audience. I think the rest of the show could benefit from the creators delving deeper into the text and for allowing their imaginations to take more liberties with the scenarios that are described in the letters and for finding more distinct voices and characters and also creative ways of expressing them. I feel like there is so much more for these performers to mine out and I hope that they will continue to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Rejection Chronicles<\/em> play at the TNS Living Room (2353 Agricola Street) at the following times.
