Allison Goldberg’s delivers a tour de force.
As Patti, the last entrant, she is the only person in the room with a mission. It’s a nervous mission, though. She can’t keep her knees still as she takes her seat. Her conversation is clipped; she moves her head from side to side like a small animal wary of predators.
Her performance is single-minded and extreme. She takes center stage with a monologue meltdown that is hilarious and magnetic. We agree with the Daytona character; we can't help but be drawn to her.
She also makes a single-minded, unique choice by bringing an object into the room that changes the play: a tape recorder that keeps running throughout the action and the emotion that fills the room, unless another actor makes the unique choice to turn it off, which happened once in the Rubber Room experiment.
