"Performed by Livi Greco ’25, Helen’s speech to Alison when she returns home from college, confessing all of the pain she has endured throughout her marriage because she thought she “was meant to, and now [her] life is shattered,” brought tears to my eyes. Greco skillfully conveyed the expected subservience of women in our patriarchal society, gaining the audience’s empathy for Helen, despite her blatant character flaw of being so innately frightened of Alison’s queerness.

All of this is finally revealed to Alison in the song “Days and Days,” where everything is no longer “balanced and serene, like chaos never happens if it’s never seen.” Greco’s performance was nothing short of chilling; I got actual goosebumps."
