I don't know how I missed this terrific play by Levy Lee Simon when it was first produced in New York City in 2008. Maybe it
had a short run, and I was out of town. But in any case, I'm so glad
to have caught the recent reading or The Guest at Central Park West--presented by its original producer, the Workshop Theater Company, and featuring the original cast.
It
seems that back at the time of its first production, The Guest at Central Park West was widely
turned down by regional theaters, largely because of an ending then seemed outrageous--and now seems prescient. It's play that now feels timelier than ever, and I hope it will go on to find the
audience it deserves, in many more readings and productions.
You can catch this reunion reading online through Monday, August 10, at 7 pm:
