The Rittenhouse Review recommends the first play at Phoenixville's Colonial Theatre since the Theatre reopened six years ago:
“Visiting Mr. Green,� originally produced in New York in 1997, is a dramatic comedy about an elderly man -- that would be Mr. Green -- who wanders in to Manhattan traffic where he is nearly in New York City and is almost hit by one Ross Gardiner. As his sentence for reckless driving, Gardiner must visit and assist Mr. Green, a recent widower living in a fourth-floor walk-up, with household tasks once a week for six months.
The Colonial Theatre says, “What starts out as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together turns into a gripping and moving drama as they get to know each other, come to care about each other, and open up old wounds they’ve been hiding for years.�
Link. I, for one, am stunned. Jim might be the first person in decades to manage to write a whole post about the Colonial without using the word "blob."
