The Most Damaging Wound

Tomorrow is your last chance to see The Production Company's excellent staging of The Most Damaging Wound, perceptively directed by Mark Armstrong. The show has already received an impressive amount of critical praise, and I'm happy to jump on the bandwagon. Armstrong has assembled a talented cast who nimbly communicates a familiar story to theatergoers: your average group of white guys gather in New York to reminisce and part with the beer-swilling ghosts of "the old days". I know, I know, the setup has the potential to be exhaustingly old hat, but the cast embodies the characters with an exuberant simplicity that is entirely free from judgment, and Armstrong's canny direction favors honesty over the irritating earnestness that many similar plays have suffered from. It's such a pleasure to see a smartly staged off-off production with a spirited cast under terrific direction. Check it out!
