Howard Miller takes a look at Bobbie Clearly:
Everyone likes heartwarming stories about a prodigal son or daughter who leaves home after a falling-out, then later repents and returns to find forgiveness and welcoming arms at every turn. As it happens, however, not everything can be forgiven, and going home again turns out to be one huge mistake. Case in point: Alex Lubischer's Bobbie Clearly, a sprawling play about the impact of a murder on a small Midwestern town, which opened tonight in an awkward mix of satire and sad reflection at Roundabout's Black Box Theatre. . . . |
