It is remarkable how well Theatreworks selects such gifted actors that can lift a play beyond its script as they do in this one. The pace and interactive dynamics move with an engaging charm that keeps us from tripping over the holes in the "plot". Staging and lighting beautiful and smoothly executed. Just one act of 90 minutes and 2 actors. Crossovers, jumps and switchbacks of actors going from contemporary pair into historic re-enactment of 1890's immigrants in a "live museum" presentation about colorful N.Y. lower East side. Their passionate high energy performance saves a somewhat tentative package with big relational synapses that we don't see developing. Late scenes felt forced, awkward and abrupt. Use of foul language adds nothing to plot but an "R" rating. Poverty seems omitted. Outstanding performers Kimiye Corwin and Matt Harrington make it well worth attending this mix of history, drama and romance. Collapse

An extraordinary selection of extremely talented actors that lift a difficult script to a remarkable level of intellect, drama and humor. We are treated to the softer side of a small group of rugged early 20th century British coal miners as they get fine art lessons. How to paint and what makes a new work worthwhile. It's a great story as they come up for air from the dangerous, exhausting and low-paying hard labors of a coal mine and sit well-dressed in sport jackets and slacks for their art class. These members of the British working class happen to have the talent and desire to transfer their view of the world from a miner's lamp to a creative image on canvas. There is a great deal of wit drying the paint of their bituminous world as the play moves us along through the decades of this real story. Their art teacher holds no class prejudice and nourishes their potential to express passion with a paint brush. Collapse
