Avaaz Reviews
Stage Raw- Highly Recommended
"...After actor-playwright Michael Shayan's years of pestering his Iranian-Jewish immigrant mother Roya to tell her life story, she finally relented to being recorded. After a writing retreat exercise, he took his mother's interview and his own imagination and melded them together to craft a compelling one-person show. Part stand-up comedy act, part liberating confessional, it is a heartfelt tribute to a single mother who, despite her fear and foibles, rose to meet her challenges with guts and humor."
