Orchids And Polka Dots

Synopsis:
Orchids and Polka Dots is in some ways the most surprising play in an evening that trades in surprise. Nathan Yungerberg's script unfolds in a doctor's office in what I took to be pre-Civil Rights America, where Dr. Gentry is testing the effects of a new medication on a black woman, Mrs. Jordan. The effects are remarkabletransformative, even, for doctor and subject. Kristoffer Tonning is solid and strait-laced as the young, buttoned-up doctor while McKenzie Frye gives a memorable, soulful performance as Mrs. Jordan. Nicco Annan directs.
