I read this script a few months ago and really loved what the playwright did to integrate the various characters in the story. I did not, however, think it was possible for one person to adequately define each character for an audience, particularly since the actor is directed to wear only the clothing of the Amish people. Jessica Franz proves me wrong. She made the people of Nickel Mines come alive, each a distinct person with a particular point of view. The story explores the human reality, the truths behind the headlines of the schoolhouse shooting in 2006, a story that unfortunately plays out too often in our world.
