“Peggy Cosgrave surprises with the sympathetic qualities of a neglected, oppressed Big Mama; one moment tearfully composed, the next, resolute and determined to fill the wishes of her dying husband.”
“An exquisite Big Mama by Peggy Cosgrave...“
“Big Mama is remarkable. She gives the drama its shrillest note. Perhapes her naivety is part of the cleverst lie, such a mother is adamant when it comes to revealing the truth. In this production falsehood and truth remain in balance. That is called hope.”
“The two families meet in one of the play's best scenes, made successful largely through the funny, nuanced performances by Peggy Cosgrave and Robert Rutland as Alice's prospective in-laws.”
“Robert Rutland and Peggy Cosgrave, two of my favorite character actors, are all one could ask for as Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, though it is a pity that she has such a small role in this play.“
