"Yet just as conflicted, in Alexandra Meier’s wonderful performance, is Sister Helen, as she is verbally lashed by the victims’ families for befriending what they regard, with some justification, as an evil monster.

Belying her slender frame, Meier has a mezzo voice of searing power. It’s the power of her performance that makes you realise that Terrence McNally’s libretto (based on Sister Helen Prejean’s autobiographical book) is as much about the near-impossibility of preaching Christian forgiveness in an “eye for an eye” community as it is about the specific inhumanity of the death penalty."
