Review: Hartford Stages' Blistering Revival of Athol Fugard's "A Lesson From Aloes" runs through June 10th, 2018!
ANDRUS NICHOLS as "Gladys" seems to dominate the action even when she is on the outskirts of a scene. Nichols has endowed her character with a mixture of wry humor and gradually consuming anger that renders her performance absolutely hypnotic. Just to watch her fold napkins for the dinner party or to pour herself a glass of sherry is a lesson in bringing danger to the surface, without even saying a word.
