"Summer of the Seventeenth Doll" (MTC)

I liked this - I wasn't familiar with the play before, but it felt like the production was playing it straight, with the result that the play itself came through well. Strong cast, good, simple set, a straightforward structure (and, in some though not all respects, plot and characters), but well put together, both on page and in performance. The development was clear; the themes resonant.

(w/ C, Sunny, a couple of Sunny's pals (DK/GR), and Steph C only for the first act)
