Reviews

The following excerpts of reviews were quoted as part of the promotion for a May 29, 2011 performance at Don't Tell Mama in New York City:

  • "Weedman...weaves a fascinating tale of a girl baby's adoption into a marginally functional family, switching back and forth playing the baby's grandmother, mother, sister and the teenage girl herself as the story progresses over a number of years..what Weedman does so skillfully is bring us into the disjointed world of a family trying to find its way in a confusing world."

    Homecoming

    by: Monta

    I take a walk and only see what changed
    I lost the sense to notice what has been replaced
    The autumn leaves cover up the street
    The place called home when I still was sixteen
    I´m always overcome by certain sadness
    when I ´m back here at the place which no more is.
    Homecoming
    Homecoming
    Homecoming
    Better times still occupy my mind
    Like a member of a threatened species out of time
    I need to leave as fast as I came
    i´ve got my own head in the sand this is my lane
    I´m always overcome by certain sadness
    when I ´m back here at the place which no more is.
