Marc Miller takes a look at Brooklyn Laundry at Manhattan Theatre Club:
The New York Times beat me to it yesterday in saying so, but gosh, this is some season John Patrick Shanley is having. First a well-received revival of his early play, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, at the Lucille Lortel. Then a high-profile staging of his Pulitzer-winning Doubt, just about to open at the Todd Haimes. And now, Brooklyn Laundry, Shanley's new play at Manhattan Theatre Club, a short (75 minutes), sweet comedy-drama that's positively remarkable in its blending of both. |
