| What a moment for Crowley. He and his play were pariahs, or near, at least in some circles, for a couple of decades (though it never disappeared, and the film was always both covertly and publicly revered). For this to come full circle, and to Broadway, is a remarkable kind of ... closure? Karma? And to be played by an out company, making the production a statement in and of itself. Though some of these actors comment on the play as a marker for a bad time, most seem to suggest its relevance in 2018 is more complicated than that. If it's half as entertaining as the original, particularly the first half, this will be the ticket of the season. |
