Teenage Jane lands a job at Donovan Decker, a hip fashion house, when they mistake her for an adult. Healthcare is a vast ecosystem of treatment, suffering and healing, of hospitals, bills and logistics. It’s often, rightly in the US, denigrated for its opacity, inequities and Kafka-esque absurdities.

Jane by Design features art deco that may win the favor of fashionistas, but its derivative plot and unfunny quips make for a series that feels stitched together from more inspired influences.

Review: Hay and fever dreams in Joffrey Ballet’s wild and wacky ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’

I just cant get enough of this show and i Think that abc made a big mistake for canceling this show. The show’s co-creators, Christopher Silber and Matt Bosack, also took to their respective social media accounts to share their feelings about the cancellation. The actress, who portrays Jane Tennant, took to her Instagram Stories late Friday night to share how she was feeling after learning the show wouldn’t be returning for a fourth season.

Jane Quimby, (Erica Dasher) is a teenager, mistaken for an adult, who lands her fashion dream job. She has her best friend Billy (Nick Roux) help her out, although he had a relationship with Lulu (Meagan Tandy), a girl who has been mean to Jane since the seventh grade. Now Billy dates the new girl, Zoe, which makes Jane feel like he's replacing her.

Mary Jane is a personal assistant who is struggling to care for her child and keep her job and McAdams has a cheery, round face and infectious smile. The power of the performance lies in McAdams’ ability to deglamorize herself without letting that undermine the formidable, everyday optimism of this character. How could all of this happen to her, you keep thinking, letting the play send your mind spinning as to what life for Mary Jane would have been like without this challenge. Medical dramas are very difficult to stage in a live theater for all kinds of reasons.

Even from rows back, you can see a hint of tears, the tick of a clock and checks of a to-do list behind McAdams’s smile, her lighthearted banter with her super (Brenda Wehle), at-home nurse Sherry (standout April Matthis), Sherry’s niece Amelia (Lily Santiago) and fellow mother Brianne (Susan Pourfar). Amy Herzog’s beautiful play “Mary Jane” is, at its core, a study of the extraordinary lengths to which a mother will go to fight and care for her child. But the takeaway from time spent at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre goes beyond even that realization. You leave after 90 minutes with a near-crushing awareness of the unfairness of life, how some moms with a well of parental love inside get to stand in playgrounds on gorgeous fall afternoons while their kids run around and laugh. Meanwhile, others are forced to deal with hospital beds and code blues, the ups and downs of shifting diagnoses, live-in nurses, drug regimens and hospital music therapists who cannot be tracked down in time.

And so much does she desire Alex’s comfort, his fleeting moments of child joy, despite tubes and immobility and illness. The play has a hypnotic, suffusive effect – there’s not one heartbreaking or cathartic moment but a series of many wins and setbacks, hurdles and sprints of human care, that left me on the verge of tears for hours afterwards. In her small gestures – climbing into bed with Alex, reassuring him that “Mama’s here” – McAdams, with the chorus of help around her, conjures a world of compassion, one I missed when it was over. Alex, the two-year-old child at the center of Amy Herzog’s excellent play Mary Jane, is a constant presence on stage, despite never showing his face nor saying a word.
