About her performance
"e; Lynn Nottages note-perfect play about an illiterate seamstress in 1905 New York benefits from beautifully articulated characterizations, particularly that of Viola Davis in the lead role, who floods the Taper with captivating naivete and a visceral craving for love that taps the universal heart.
