The Saddest Girl in the World Venue 11–
The
Saddest Girl in the World alternates between two stories – a lonely clerk working in a jewellery
shop and a recent immigrant from Kosovo who is underemployed as a janitor. Both
stories show two different people from different backgrounds trying to find
their place in the world. It makes you wonder that there is something inherently
wrong with a world that only values people on what they contribute to a
business. The more interesting of the two stories is the story of the
immigrant trying to adjust to a new country while overcoming discriminatory
attitudes and I would have preferred a full play about this character. Still, Tina Teeninga
does a nice job shifting back and forth between the characters. - Justin Olynyk
