Private Parts: The Secrets We Keep

Gravity Theatre—The Studio at Le Théâtre Cercle Molière

Johanna Ranelli is a completely capable, charming actor; especially cute when she plays herself as a child. This show is like a good essay. She states the premise, provides good evidence (storyline) and sums up her point well in the conclusion.

However, I feel a tightening of the script would benefit the play and the audience. There is too much repetition. We only need to be told once that she pooped the bed at 7 years old; not over and over. She has a beautiful, moving story that could be more effectively told in less time, as I, and others I talked to, felt it dragging at points. There are no flaws in her performance. I would love to see her in future endeavours.
