the october crisis (to laura)

August 16th, 2008 · No Comments

My review of Alejandro Morales’s new play, the october crisis (to laura), now making its debut at the New York International Fringe Festival.

Gayton Scott as Marguerite Stone in 'the october crisis (to laura)'

Taking much of its inspiration from Otto Preminger’s 1944 Gene Tierney vehicle “Laura,” Alejandro Morales’s “the october crisis (to laura)” is a stylish tribute to classical American cinema. It is also an explication of many a gay man’s fantasy: to discover not only that he is adopted, but also that his birth mother is a whiskey-soaked, torch-singing diva with a secret past and an empty place in her heart.

Full review here.

This also marks my debut as the new theater (yeah, they spell it with an “er” over there) editor of offoffoff.com; More to come.
