Golda's Balcony: Rave Reviews from National Critics

	VALERIE HARPER brings a grounded authenticity to the part, in the National Tour of the resilient work, developed over years by scripter WILLIAM GIBSON. She gives the character heart, humor, strength and, most of all, passion: conjuring the woman by sheer will, under SCOTT SCHWARTZ’s nicely paced, nuanced helming. It’s an amazing personal history course as seen through the eyes of one of the most fascinating leaders of the 20th century. Script and performance capture Golda Meir at her most iconoclastic: probing, tough, witty, mesmerizing and maternal. HARPER succeeds in the most challenging part: making her character believable not just as a stage presence but as a serious and steely leader of her country at a moment of world brinkmanship.” — FRANK RIZZO, Variety
