Cherry Docs delivers some powerful punches but flails at the play’s most problematic elements
Tickets & Info: $20-$36.50 at pacifictheatre.org
Moments of revelatory drama alternate with curiously abstract diversions in the 90-minute script. This Cave Canem production at the Pacific Theatre, directed by Richard Wolfe, delivers some powerful punches but flails at the play’s most problematic elements. Soon Daniel’s wife, colleagues and Jewish friends are growing increasingly uncomfortable with his obsessive need to defend the indefensible. He himself wonders if he’s being driven by ambition, this highly publicized case likely to raise his legal profile.
In his solo scenes, including a mesmerizing sequence in which he holds a flame to his open palm, we get glimpses of his psychological problems. As Daniel continues to hammer away at him, and months of solitary wear away his defences, Mike starts to break down, his racist rationalizations reverting to the robotically nutty.
