I cannot recall how long ago I reviewed, SORDID LIVES, one of Del Shores' pithy plays with a Texas Twinge.. It was there I saw for the first time the talent of Margot Rose: singer, actor, song writer and after a few years? "Marme" to twins.

| Margot Rose |
Margot's beautifully produced memoir with music currently at The Skylight Theatre on Vermont features the talents of five musicians including Melina Young as Nora around whom Margot's 'unconditional love' revolves. Ms Young provides the voice of Margot's daugher, Nora, in nice harmony with equal billing to percussionist Justin Lottie, keyboard/conductor Aaron Benham , Novi Novog on violin and Larry Tuttle on electric bass.
No expense has been spared to creat what feels a little like a posh Cabaret/Jazz Club. Set by Tommy Brown. Uncredted lights are great.
Margot's hopscotch tale comes loose in chronological time over years of bliss and challenges with her former partner, Pat, who served as the vehicle for the birth of the couple's twins. Foreshadowing comes to a passionate conclusion showcasing Margot's considerable musical talents.
The beautiful program for the show gets a nod because it's classy, sharing names and photos of the talented cast.
Director Anne Kenny's hand is subtle. Kenny has worked with Margot for years to fine tune this heart rending memoir.
Margot Rose is a suigenerous survivor: extolling her sober age of 73. The ebb and flow of her story shares her devotion to the memory of the good times and some sad ones.
