The play has been described as a "provocative, poignant
and humorous tale of a gay professor of Judaism, as he reflects on his roller
coaster life, throwing him into a whirlwind of self-doubt, compassion and
ultimately revelation".
Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lanford Wilson has said of
Solace: "Everything about this play is surprising, literate and
wonderful."
Director Joseph Chaikin has called the play, "
beautifully written, a fascinating play." Solace was recently
performed at Center Stage Theater. |
