7 Reviews for The Princess Diana and Mother Teresa Story

1. I saw this play last winter. It was incredible. I’m glad there is another opportunity to see it. The actor’s really express the emotions that the two characters must have gone through. I learned so much of Mother Teresa, and of Diana. and then of course of their relationship.

2. One production that should NOT be overlooked. Beautiful writing, and touching to see the actor portraying Diana (rather stiffly at first) “step” into her role and inhabit it…AS her character grew in confidence and spirit.

   That Mother Teresa would have need of an exorcism? The priest begins the ritual (to banish the demon)…but Teresa knows deeply there is no “demon”, and that there can be no banishing the human condition.

   I was not expecting such dark insight.

   Lovely production, and a work to be proud of…Congratulations, Helene!

3. I also had the pleasure to see this play for the first time last winter. The playwright has brillaintly, in such a sweet way, introduced us to this wonderful, facinating relationship between these powerful yet very different women. The story evokes such hope followed by such sadness. I was surprised at how moved I was. I’m sure the wonderful acting contributed to the overall memorable experience but the story itself needs to be told again and again.

4. This is a play that should be seen around the world and in much larger venues. It is a most intimate view of a relationship between two of the most reknowned women who had a spiritual connnection. Their lives were so public but their friendship and support of each other’s angsts so private. That they died within days of each other was remarkable. Helene Turnbull had researched both Mother Theresa and Princess Diana’s livews and written the play before Mother Theresa’s religious doubts were made public.I have seen great theater performances in the twin cities, so rich with famous theaters and actors. This play will stay with me for a long time. I hope that the complete experience, the story, the music, the actors, and Turnbull’s art will be presented to many more audiences.

5. This is the well-researched story of a friendship between two women from totally different worlds who shared the pain of personal experience and extraordinary empathy for victims of social and official neglect.
   As Mother Teresa neared the end of her humanitarian efforts, Princess Diana was just beginning hers. The story of their friendship is of what might have been but was obliterated in one tragic night.
   Written in free verse, the story is reminiscent of the Greek and Shakespearean tragedies that depicted both the nobility and the vulnerability of the human experience. Whether one liked or disliked the main characters,no one can be indifferent to the drama and denouement of their lives and their efforts to make the world a better place for those most in need.

6. What a wonderful production. I feel blessed because I have known the Playwrite for many years. I know the play to be a wonderful, warm learning tool for all of us. Seeing Diana is a drama for all of us to experence. The opportunity of sharing the play should be available to everyone.

7. What a wonderful story. I have been blessed to know the Playwrite for many years and I thank her for this wonderful learning tool. I looked at both of the women differently before enjoying Diana. I hope that other people will acceptpt it as I did. A lesson for everyone to see.
