LET'S PLAY TWO .
LET'S PLAY TWO, Anthony Clarvoe's suprisingly affecting romantic comedy.
Mr Clarvoe's low-key two-hander .
The play, about a young woman made pregnant by an even younger man whose constancy she doubts has something to say about the notion of maturity.
As demonstrated by the example of sweet-tempered Phil, that quality is perhaps measured best not by the hardness of one's calluses but by one's willingness to acquire new ones.
This may not be the most revolutionary concept ever considered on the American stage.
Still, it's no shame to have basic human decency reiterated as a value now and again, especially when it is elucidated as compassionately as in LET'S PLAY TWO.
-Peter Marks, The New York Times THE LIVING Set in 1665 London as the Black Plague sweeps the city claiming more than 100, 000 lives, THE LIVING is not about death.
Rather this remarkable, riveting drama is a compelling confirmation of life.
And although it's set more than three centuries ago, Anthony Clarvoe's two-act parable (in which the reactions of the people and the government parallel those surrounding today's A I D S epidemic), maintains .
stunning immediacy .
Often bitterly funny, often ineffably sad, this is the story of a few brave sometimes reluctantly so people who stood fast, doing what need to be done .
Propelled by Clarvoe's masterful handling of language .
-Sandra Dillard-Rosen, The Denver Post The play THE LIVING is alive with lessons for tomorrow.
Set in London in the bubonic plague year of 1665, the play is a scary morality tale, a ghoulish slice of history and an evening shining with hope .
Inevitably, the world wakes up from nightm.
