| This play, written 25 years ago and set in the 1980s, is not as well know as other plays about the AIDS crisis. It's not a big play in any sense of the word. Two men, long term friends, come to terms with the encroaching horror in different, idiosyncratic ways. The play borrows freely from Ionesco's THE CHAIRS and while its central metaphor is blunt and predictable, well, so was the plague. Arnie Burton and Matt McGrath are dear and moving as the friends and, though the play is somewhat sentimental, it's nicely written and inescapably moving, probably especially if you were there. |
