I certainly want to know more about Chateau’s experiences while in Georgia. The play comes alive during the scenes set in Georgia when Christine and her husband are pushed out of their comfort zone. Much of this is due to Karen Christie-Ward’s performance; she is delightful as Christine and Robert’s intermediary. Christie-Ward invests her character with earthy, amiable energy, and her too-short time onstage elevates the entire play. I wish The Sun Shines East had focused more on the story in Georgia, if only to give Christie-Ward more stage time.
