“Here’s what it takes to create a superior solo show: a) an interesting story; b) a well-told story; c) a terrific performer. The Giggling Granny, by Marsha Lee Sheiness, running at the Theater for the New City hit a hat trick, exceeding all expectations in all three categories—especially in the bravura performance by veteran actress Marilyn Chris as the real life Nannie Doss”
- Bart Greenberg, Nite Life Exchange
“So captivating was Chris’s performance that I found myself less shocked by what she did than how poorly her ill-fated husbands treated her. She perfectly portrayed the very dimensions of a sociopath: cruel, yet charming, with little regard for others… Direction was spot on as the sharp focus of the 60-minute play was on the telling of that story and Ms. Chris’s performance.
- Walter Murphy, Theater Pizzazz
“[The Giggling Granny] raises timeless questions about trust, perception, and how evil can hide in plain sight. In the play, Doss’s actions are examined through a feminist lens, exploring the constraints of mid-20th-century gender roles and the impact of societal pressures on women’s lives… If you’re anywhere in the NY area, don’t miss this chance to see a master actor bring a serial killer to life!
