"...Jennifer's Lane's fairly recent work Harlowe is a tightly written one that proves to be a fascinating look into how tragedy impacts one family and how the main character, Harlowe, who is bruised both physically and emotionally, is just trying to finally be able to feel something again. Nearly Naked Theatre's production is beautifully acted and directed with one of the best overall casts I've seen in a Nearly Naked show....beautifully written with no unnecessary scenes and a structure that slowly doles out information from the character's pasts to allow us to fully understand what they've experienced and how family and personal dynamics have impacted each and every member of the family of four. ...Director Damon Dering has assembled a stellar cast for this production. Laura Anne Kenney is simply spellbinding in her portrayal of Harlowe. ...As Reese, Harlowe's sister, Brianne Massa creates a matter-of-fact woman who has to act, somewhat, as the family caretaker...Duane Daniels is superb as their father Edwin... David Nelson delivers a genuine and sweet portrayal, and as Davis, Harlowe and Reese's younger brother, Logan X. Sargent is a complete natural. Dering's direction ...derives beautiful and natural performances from his entire cast. ...Harlowe effectively demonstrates that even a show that may seem at first to focus on traumatic events is really a statement about how recovery, though challenging, can also result in new understanding, a way for a family to come together to heal, and moments of true beauty....
