This was a new play at Northern Stage. Clever and well-acted, and close to home with the aging parent theme. The story primarily involves Cora, featured in the image, who has left her husband, and has moved back with her mother Julie. Both were strong roles, and had a good amount of humor. The back story about a high school friend seemed a bit much, but the play was smart and snappy.
Appropriate for the title of the play, the backdrop of the scene was a large depiction of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.
