WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

"Are you ready?" Jerry confronts this question from the womb of his favorite restaurant booth while the months pass by and the son he and his wife Pauline are expecting grows from the size of a peach to the size of...a baby. As the due date approaches, can friends and family members help Jerry feel prepared, or just feel worse, like some un-anonymous sperm donor terrified of making the transition from being the son of a father to being the father of a son? Staged just blocks from the titular restaurant where it is set, the latest play by Jonathan Marc Sherman is sharp, funny, and deeply felt.

Jonathan Marc Sherman's intermittently affecting new play concerns a 40-year-old man facing fatherhood for the first time.

RE:Knickerbocker
I think this is going to be a generational thing. I cannot remember myself, many, many years ago, , analyzing impending fatherhood in quite this detail with quite this cast of characters who feature in this play. There are some good lines and some interesting dialogue but I found the generation gap a bit wide for me to empathize too much with the pre-natal parents or their friends and family. The acting was good and the staging spare but adequate. Perhaps it should be a required view for those in the same boat as the central character.
