“Leonard Pelkey”: My FT Review
The Financial Times has posted my review of “The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey,” which has opened off-Broadway. Bottom line: ‘James Lecesne (pictured) is that rare actor: he can play men and women with equal believability. His dexterousness is on ample display in The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey, a solo show that Lecesne adapted from his 2008 young-adult novel, Absolute Brightness, and in which he performs. In both its simplicity and its storytelling, this 75-minute evening shines.’
