While the production centers on the politics within the Shaker community, it also emphasizes the dangers facing young women outside of the community.
The strongest performances come from these younger members: Sister Polly (Jessica Price) is a former prostitute who has sought refuge in the community. Sister Fanny joined the community for the promise of a daily meal and to avoid her abusive family. For Sister Izzy (Jillian Jetton), who was dropped off by her father as a young child, the community is the only home she has ever known. Jetton’s Izzy is delightfully innocent, and her eyes well up with a very real sort of wonder when describing her angelic vision. Some of the performances are more sporadic and effusive, but this might be expected from a play involving convulsive religious experiences.
