Public details: The current show at the Acrosstown Repertory Theatre (ART) is Gruesome Playground Injuries. I went to the sneak preview; it is an excellent play and production; well worth seeing. I am going back to see it again. It is a romance, sort of. Tender, sort of. A tragedy, sort of. A comedy, sort of. I have never seen a play like this. It will likely make you squirm, think, cry, laugh, reflect, and remember. It is emotionally rich. From the program: Over the course of 30 years, the lives of Kayleen and Doug intersect at the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together. There are also shows on Fri + Sat + Sun matinee through Dec 19. |
