As Bessie’s conflicted sister Lee, the talented Kirsten Quinn does a wonderful job of showing Lee’s struggle with her need for self-preservation and her guilt about abandoning the caregiving duties to Bessie.
Even facing death, Bessie struggles to put herself first, a meekness that Richman-Weisband captures well in her performance. Her personality contrasts nicely with Quinn’s brash, saucy conception of Lee, who makes no apologies for choosing life on her own terms over familial obligation.
