Awkward tonal shifts and a jagged narrative sink this winner of the 2015 Pulitzer.
Science has nothing to do with this poorly-written May-December rom-com at the ACT.
You wouldn’t think “rom-com” and “Vietnam War drama” would go together, but the ACT pulls it off well.
The abundant flaws of Hellman’s script are made all the more apparent in Berkeley Rep’s production.
The sets are amazing and the songs are classics, but Dominique Morisseau’s truncated script shortchanges its subjects in this Berkeley Rep world premiere musical.
Fine acting and great Berkeley Rep production values can’t save Branden Jabobs-Jenkins’ God-awful script.
