Another show we saw


Suzanne Vega’s ‘Carson McCullers Talks About Love’ via NYTimes.com

“Carson McCullers Talks About Love” opens on Thursday at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, where it’s scheduled to run through June 4. The 90-minute play features Ms. Vega alternating between monologue and songs, backed by two musicians, recounting McCullers’s complex life. McCullers, who died in 1967 at 50, broke ground with her depictions of solitude, unrequited love, physical disability and repressed homosexuality. She also faced frequent illness and the suicide of her husband.

Nice singing but a fractured story line.  Still waiting to read the reviews
