"Adina Taubman courageously tells us about her struggles in a candid and informative one-woman show, The Road Back. … She is a talented mimic, so good that it provides some levity. … At the performance I attended, the audience seemed riveted all the way."
-Bob Criso, Hi! Drama
“… a valuable, eye-opening piece of theatre. The reality of Taubman's struggle comes through in her bold, unashamed recounting of it. More amazing than the story itself is her willingness to share it, and in so doing, to relive experiences many of us would prefer to forget. … She even embodies her own depression and anxiety, and in doing so, delicately balances humor and honesty. It's that blend of entertainment and authenticity that, more than anything else, allows this piece to succeed”
