Latter-Day Williams

Mia Kastigbak and Eduardo Machado in Out Cry.

For the second time this fall I had the chance to catch a latter-day Tennessee Williams play. Unfortunately, I found the always ambitious National Asian American Theatre Company's production of the little known Out Cry just a bit messy.

I had a similar reaction to Small Craft Warnings , which I caught, but didn't review, on an evening when the house housed plenty of my former Back Stage colleagues (and aren't there a lot of former Back Stagers walking around these day, with all the recent layoffs).
