Howard Miller takes a look at Balls:
Balls, opening tonight at 59E59 Theaters, is a rollicking, three-ring circus of a play that retells the story of the ultra-hyped man-vs-woman tennis match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King that held 90 million viewers glued to their television sets back in 1973. Uniquely among the numerous times the story has been recounted in print and on screen (there's even an opera about it), this production makes the case for why the event has become so thoroughly embedded into our collective consciousness. . . . |
