Womenkind\u2019s Women on the Fringe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, Jill Dalton\u2019s \u201cI Always Cry at Weddings\u201d was a wickedly arch comedy with women\u2019s sometimes pathological cattiness as its target. As an attendee of a friend\u2019s nuptials, Dalton\u2019s unceasing snipes a the figures, fortunes, and futures reaches the shrill at times, but it never off-putting. Her point about an inherent self-loathing at the root of it is always clear. And as a performer, Dalton was a cyclone of neurotic tics, all of them quite funny.<\/p>\n
