Howard Miller takes a look at Gas at Theatre Row:
As a playwright, Charles Cissel is an experimentalist, more concerned with digging deeply into what lies underneath the surface than with using conventional storytelling techniques. He is like an expressionist artist, but instead of using dabs and drips of color, he paints in stabs and slashes of words. Thus it is with Gas, a harrowing journey among the dead and dying, opening tonight at Theatre Row. |
