WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
From Lanford Wilson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Talley's Folly, Fifth of July, and Burn This comes this moving story about seeking acceptance in the place you most hope to find it. Wilson's autobiographical play depicts his California journey at age 17 to live with his estranged father, and his struggle to fit in to a family only partially his own. From Jonathan Silverstein, the Drama Desk-nominated director of last season's hit The Temperamentals and Drama Desk and OBIE award-winning Keen Company's acclaimed revivals of I Never Sang for My Father and Tea and Sympathy.

RE:Almost Brilliant
Lanford Wilson?s Lemon Sky has been revived by the Keen Company and is playing at Theatre Row. This play is considered the most autobiographical of Mr. Wilson and was last revived in 1985. The play, told in flashback and predominantly set in the late 1950s, is the story of a brief reunion between a father and son. Directed by Jonathan Silverstein, this very lovely play falls a bit short of brilliant. There are some beautifully directed and acted moments, but there is also a small collection of distractions.

Lanford Wilson offers up a pungent portrait of a 17-year-old's attempts to reconnect with his father in his highly theatrical 1970 play Lemon Sky, now being presented by the Keen Company at the Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row. The production, directed with precision by Jonathan Silverstein, boasts a host of exceptional performances and manages to deliver a considerable emotional punch.
Alan (Keith Nobbs) narrates the story of his tumultuous time in California (scenic designer Bill Clarke provides the retro environment that's lit with care by Josh Bradford) with his long-estranged dad Douglas (Kevin Kilner), stepmom Ronnie (Kellie Overbey) and preteen half brothers (superlative turns from y[...]
