"...In Caldwell’s earnest, unevenly acted and sometimes draggy production — the latest offering from the three-year-old D.C. company theHegira — Drakes is the principal bright spot, subtly revealing the conflicted emotions that seethe in Hester, whose desperation sharpens as better-off individuals simultaneously censure and exploit her, forcing her into a series of no-win choices."

Six actors work hard to portray eleven characters, but it’s Drakes in the central role of Hester who anchors the play. An unemployed and broke single mother of five, Hester keeps watch over her clamorous clan under an old bridge on the outskirts of town.
