A well put together show about the Irish Magdalaine houses, this does not tread new ground but what it does cover, it covers well. Solid performances from the three 'fallen women,' with particular kudos to Layla Amir-Soleymani for her dynamic and emotionally varied portrayal of Claire. The most interesting thing about the show is the venue and the way writer/director Carlton Martin uses the chapel-like setting to its best advantage.
