Customer Reviews

Bogosian is great.

This play is very funny. There are also a number of monologues in it that can be used for auditions. Barry's struggle in the play to come off as being cocky and sure of himself is contrasted nicely with his inherent vulnerability. The monologues from all the other characters also give an interesting introspective into the life and mind of Barry Champlain. The main dialogue of the other characters in the play comes from the monologues, which create depth of character in both the person speaking, and Barry. Throughout the course of the play I am made to love, hate, feel sorry for and admire Barry. I applaud this play.
