"In the suburbs of Washington, DC, in the mid-1980s, 13-year-old Franklin Robertson is trying to survive. His parents don't understand him. His older brother torments him non-stop.

Director Bart DeLorenzo brought out the innate charm in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's Doctor Cerberus: With echoes of early Christopher Durang, it told the story of a gay boy's coming of age as a writer, through an inspiring uncle and his obsession with the TV host of a horror-movie show. Though not lacking in humor, it feels trite at this stage. The play demonizes the boy's repressed, control-freak parents — with a coy admission near the story's end that the boy might have been overreacting. (May 6, 2009 (c) laweekly.com) |
