Last night I did a lot of running around. I was fortunate enough to find time to catch a lovely production called Disillusioned.
This was a simple production, done in a very small theatre that told a charming story without being heavy handed. It's great to see a story well told and one about a subject that isn't often explored. Productions like this often get lost in the shuffle of the festivals, readings, and Broadway openings, but I would urge new producers to take the time to seek shows like this out. This one in particular was very appealing to me. I was impressed with the writing, the acting, and the direction of the work. It truly was magic in many ways. It's an hour long but spans a good deal of time and tells a really touching story of friendship and loss. It reminded me that thousand dollar sets and a flashy production cannot stand up to an engaging story.
Special thanks to Georgie Caldwell for tipping me off to the magic in midtown. The show runs till the end of the month and I suggest you buy tickets and catch it before it disappears ;)
