Brooklyn Boy January 23, 2009

By Donald Margulies. Directed by Joshua Redford.

This play isn't about Brooklyn, nor is it about a boy... but the critics agree it is the funniest, and one of Margulies' most moving plays. With poignant, sparkling dialogue, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author spins a tale of a writer, who finds his new-found celebrity tinged with loneliness. His father's failing health brings him back to the Brooklyn of his childhood, and we are deftly reminded—through laughter and tears—that nobody's journey through life can be made without some bad decisions, wrong directions or regrets.
