This versatile actress took us from one character to the next with the slightest tweak and we marvelled at her conveyance of changing emotion. She was fabulous comedic and yet heart-wrenching in her more dramatic portrayals\u2026\u201d Grand River Sachem\n\n\u2026Hodgson\u2019s portrayal of Harry\u2019s mother and ex-wife are riveting and her delivery and realism were outstanding in all of her characters\u201d Simcoe Reformer\n\n\u2026Hodgson also takes on the roles of Lori, Harry\u2019s former wife, and his mother\u2026 and the veteran actress juggles the three roles with perfection.\u201d The Observer\n\n...a fine actor, Heather Hodgson handles herself admirably as three women in the show, making each a distinct character\u201d The View, Hamilton\n\n\u201cHodgson is excellent as Gin, but also easily flips easily into the flashbacks where she capably handles playing Harry\u2019s ex-wige and his mother\u201d.

Theatre in London\n\n\u2026and Abby (Heather Hodgson) expertly set each other up and play off each other\u2019s cues, making the comedy seem natural and instinctive\u2026 highlighting (her) gift for live theatre \u201dThe Orangeville Banner\n\nBoth\u2026and Hodgson rode the razor\u2019s edge as women determined to put on a good front, but only seconds away fron completely melting into puddles of nasty truth.
