WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In India and Nepal, namaste (pronounced "Na-ma-stay") means both hello and goodbye. Namaste Man (Lost and Found in Kathmandu), the autobiographical piece by actor Andrew Weems, draws on a childhood that was anything but conventional. Growing up in Africa and Asia, Weems spent his adolescence in houses furnished by the State Department, living a life filled with constant hellos and goodbyes. He experienced a world redolent with adventures, outsized personalities--and mysteries that he would begin to unravel only as an adult. Bartlett Sher directs.

And therein lies the trouble with this uneven work. In spite of fine acting by Weems, Namaste Man never quite arrives.
As the son of a State Department official, the fortysomething Weems has spent a lifetime saying hello and goodbye. In the 1970s, his family lived for several years in Kathmandu. He draws on that experience for much of the [...]
