James Wilson takes a look at Sandra at the Vineyard Theatre:
Five years ago, Billy Crudup made an indelible impression as a chameleon-like con man in David Cale's Harry Clarke. Crudup performed nearly twenty characters and was mesmerizing as he drew the audience into his tale of duplicity and amorality. Cale's newest solo play, Sandra, currently running at the Vineyard Theatre, stars Marjan Neshat as a forty-something-year-old woman caught in a web of international intrigue, mysterious disappearances, and perhaps murder. While not as engrossing as Cale's previous work, Sandra is a mostly entertaining, if not crackling, thriller. |
