Frankie Shaw is brilliant, as a writer, director and star of a show that takes you inside the life of a young mother struggling to stay alive in south Boston. Any one who reviews this women's work here and is negative or critical clearly has no clue what the realities of life are for young women in this country. This show is right on the mark. Ms.Shaw shows a true ability to transcend the proclivity that other writers have to write and produce totally mediocre crap and there is no shortage of that out there. She on the other hand has chosen to take a risk, be brave and produce a show that has both substance and depth In the writing, in the character development and overall storytelling. This is a half hour that feels like an hour. Ms. Shaw has put her finger on the pulse of an environment only she could have created and then portrays in her fictionalized character who is just witty, attractive, charming and intelligent all rolled up into one. She brings this delightful character to life and it's just wonderful to watch the development and the story progress. Bravo Frankie!
