June 15, 2016What I liked
The following is a professional review from STAG RAW 6/14/16
“The play pits a bloodthirsty government regime against a band of subversive intellectuals and writers. The proceedings feel pertinent in the Trump era.”
“Jack (an entirely engaging Brad Light) is married to Judy (Rebecca Light, in an intensely thoughtful turn), but the latter is a daddy’s girl. Judy’s father, Howard (Christopher Neiman), a poet and political essayist, prides himself on his highbrow intellectual tendencies and commands a crowd of artistic hangers-on who worship his words but live in fear of the bullets flying their way. Judy, gaga for dad’s brilliant brain, can’t quite commit to Jack, who longs for lofty intellectual leanings but binge-watches TV and plays with his dick as the revolution rages.”
“Brad C. Light gives the standout performance. His grappling and guilt-ridden Jack swings between confident charm and unraveled neurosis. When his Jack looks the audience in the eye to confess a guilty pleasure or secret insecurity, it’s hard to look away.”
