Oscar and Tony Award nominee Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone, The War of the Roses, Californication) reprises her Broadway role as Sister Jamison Connolly, a spunky outspoken nun who agrees to sponsor a 19-year-old drug user (Evan Jonigkeit in his Broadway role) in an effort to help him get clean. Turner's deep voice and strong presence provide the perfect vehicle for the salty language and tough-as-nails approach of her character -- a nun who fought, and won, her own battle with addiction. High is a play of raw emotions, where the struggle of drug addiction is laid bare on stage, and each character's faith is tested.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Kathleen Turner on stage. She was perfect in the role of an ex-alcoholic, swearing nun. I also thought the two male actors were very good in their roles. The teenage addict was very convincing and the I thought the priest accurately portrayed the conflict within his character. I was disappointed to read the negative review in the Chronicle. The only thing that was a problem was that I could not hear all of the dialogue and we were sitting near the stage.

Unfortunately, this heavily over emotional production forces the audience to accept several depths of unbelievable and distracting characters. A nun that has suffered significantly enough to ask the church for comfort, shows no sign of the compassion she was seeking and the willingness to share her joy with others, including a troubled youth, brilliantly performed, that was distracted by a crowd pleasing nude scene and a disruptive relationship with her superior priest. The play held my attention in the first act, but wondered off to almost boredom in the second act the final scenes left the audience giving polite applause, but a standing ovation out of wishes the play was better written.

Fabulous performance by Kathleen Turner & cast. Dark and emotionally gnawing, this play will have you pondering faith and redemption. Kathleen turner plays a recovering alcoholic nun with a dark secret and the addict she is charged with counseling.

Description

Two-time Golden Globe® winner, Academy Award® & Tony Award® nominee Kathleen Turner triumphantly returns to San Francisco in the most critically-acclaimed performance of her career. A favorite among San Francisco theatre-goers, Turner has previously delighted audiences in such productions as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The Graduate and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. And now, Turner brings her most compelling performance to the Curran Theatre for one week only.

When Sister Jamison Connolly (Turner) agrees to sponsor a 19-year-old drug user in an effort to help him combat his addiction, her own faith is ultimately tested. Struggling between the knowledge she possesses as a rehabilitation counselor and a woman of religious conviction, she begins to question her belief in miracles and whether people can find the courage to change. High explores the universal themes of truth, forgiveness, redemption and human fallibility.

This show contains adult language, adult content and full male nudity. It is not recommended for children or young teens. Parental discretion is advised.
