But it’s Smith’s ability to draw out the tragic elements of Shirley’s story, before building a portrait of resilience, that makes this performance so special. ![]() There are brilliant moments of comedy that sometimes bring the house down: Shirley’s commentary on her daughter’s generation discovering the clitoris, and her anecdote about her son’s dad-inspired ad-libbing in a school nativity play (“Full up?
