One of the best performances of the season is Paula Plum’s as
a lonely, timid soul who opens up to a ROOMMATE (@ Lyric Stage through Nov. 18th).
The play turns on a very thin, implausible dime about half way through but
director Spiro Veloudos picks up the pace and pulls it off, even as you shake
your head in disbelief that it could work. The best line in the play is
Adrianne Krstansky’s about children: “They don’t have to like us. They just
have to live long enough to become us.”
